Uncurling

Book Description
In Uncurling, Jeanie Wilson speaks with telling detail about loss, family history, back roads, a tragic film star, and the dynamics of falling. Her poems are irreverent, compassionate, disturbing. They scratch across glass. They hum in the next room.
Miller Williams writes: "The poems of Jeanie Wilson bring delightfully surprising insights riding on the language of casual conversation shaped by a poet who knows what a line is, an ever rarer merging of values."
