Comprising poems of place set across the Virginias, this collection includes an episodic elegy exploring the opioid crisis in the Shenandoah Valley as well as a separate series of persona poems reimagining the Mothman (West Virginia's famed cryptid) reluctantly coming of age in that state's mountains and struggling with the utility of warnings. These are narrative poems of love and grief, built from a storytelling tradition. Taken together they form an arc encompassing the experience of growing up, looking away, and looking back. This collection was selected by prestigious poet Rae Armantrout to become the 116th volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mothman $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $v Poetry. 651 0 $a Virginia $v Poetry. 651 0 $a West Virginia $v Poetry. 650 7 $a POETRY / American / General. $2 bisacsh. 650 7 $a Mothman. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200001. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Narrative poetry. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Armantrout, Rae, $d 1947- $e writer of foreword. 830 0 $a Yale series of younger poets ; $v v. 116. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=50A30D3CA2C711ED850ED7DB26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
