Disoriented speakers who nevertheless believe they know where they are going, and what they are doing, provide an occasion for lyric expansiveness and periodic bathos, including elegies for June Carter Cash, Patsy Cline, the author's father, an ex-cat, and others. At the heart of the collection is a rhyming sonnet crown that offers a wicked inversion of the book's larger vision by constructing an apocalyptic mythology of matrilineal inheritance reliant on resistance, destruction, and martyrdom as much as on cycles of creation and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChelsea Whitton\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet and essayist whose work has appeared in many print and online publications including \u003ci\u003eBeloit Poetry Journal, Cream City Review, Copper Nickel, Cimarron Review, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePoetry Ireland, \u003c\/i\u003e among others.
