River Skin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781594980879)

Enter River Skin, a collection that traverses a landscape of lilacs, switchblades, and creeks. These poems squeeze grief through a cider press and heap addiction high on a wood pile. Interrogating the domestic with a candor that evokes Sharon Olds, Smith's debut returns us to the forest, where she unearths a tenderness that aches, splinters, and renews.
