In an engrossing collection of formal beauty, sardonic wit, scathing anger, and class resentment, Rogers' uniquely vivid voice describes a transformation from a frightened but defiant little girl to a desperate, angry adolescent, and finally, to an adult coping with the death of her estranged father, an addict. In the end, Middletown reveals the rage and rapture of growing up feeling unloved in the middle of nowhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephanie Rogers is the author of three books of poetry, including Middletown (2025), Fat Girl Forms (2021), and Plucking the Stinger (2016), all published by Saturnalia Books.
