They are at once urgent and mysterious, full of ocean depths and surging currents. Far from nostalgia, home inspires in this poet a vigilance, keeping watch on herself and others. Her very language is charged with the alert intelligence that offers a means of survival, and metaphors that transform pain into poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Devin Johnston, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eMosses and Lichens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaterina Canyon's poems dive into history unafraid to explore the complexity of home and family and acknowledge: \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003ethe sea is filled with bones.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eThis powerful, engaging collection where we see \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003ethe billowing skirt of sunset\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e asks again and again: How do get past our pasts?\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eSmart, poignant, compassionate, Canyon's poems remind us that strength happens despite one's childhood and one's country; they exclaim, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe can choose whether we are stuck \/ In darkness or in light.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003eKelli Russell Agodon, author of\u003ci\u003e \u003ci\u003eDialogues with Rising Tides\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn lush language and startling images, Katerina Canyon unveils a story \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003ei\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003en blood and bone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e of a speaker who survives domestic cycles of addiction and abuse, terrors \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003ehanded down from the plantation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e through generations of her kin . . .
