Their great-uncle was bitten by a shark, their mother has a brain tumor, their neighbor hangs himself from a tree--and to cope with these very real terrors, the oldest sister creates an intimate fantasy world. We hear stories of a mountain lion that slaughters a deer, a transparent body washed up on a beach, a selkie who ventures to shore and becomes their mother: \"On land her pelt was heavy \/ like stewed velvet, so she taught herself \/ to take it off.\" The sisters' environment of ocean and sand, forests and farmhouses, forms a lush backdrop to many of these poems. But later, as the speaker ages, we find ourselves in the mountains, in an art museum, in a spacecraft where a recorded voice \"has the soft accent of someone only a generation or two removed from Earth.\" The voice in these poems is the perfect mix of grief and imagination, quiet and explosion. \u003ci\u003eStay Safe\u003c\/i\u003e is delicate and extraordinary, a powerful debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Austin, Texas, Emma Hine received a BA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from New York University.
