Tess Taylor's much-anticipated lyric debut is at once a sensuous reckoning with an ambiguous family history and a haunting meditation on national legacy. The Forage House explores how we make stories, and how stories—even painful ones—make us.
Tess Taylor is a brilliant poet, and she navigates a personal, familial, and national connection of race in our country. Vibrant detail, evocative imagery, and it strikes a chord that still vibrates within hours after putting the book down.
