Aprašymas

Shifting from Barbie to Spidergirl, from shooting the family dog to lycanthropy, these poems are sirens filled with seething. Like the darkest of fairy tales, LaTour’s work repeatedly charms as it wounds. Transitioning us from the haunting assertion that “your own lion's heart will be brave in darkness” to the sinister tenor of incest where “The door cracked open/and light spread like broken yolks,” What Will Keep Us Alive navigates childhood horrors as well as female oppression, erasure, and escape. And though these “Mid-western spells” are strewn with bloody dresses, they are lit in “beautiful shades of Naples yellow,” emphasizing succor, solace and healing.
—Simone Muench, author of Wolf Centos
