Product Description
by Miriam Moore-Keish (Author)
"Miriam Moore-Keish writes hopeful young heaviness like she always does, with a kindness for setting and a sternness for structures and institutions. The busyness of thick food, wine, eyeliner, humidity, and the blood of different peoples who cannot stop loving and hating each other consumes these works, and our only guiding light is the narrator's unlikely hope that maybe she can figure it all out. These poems are what the American South can be for some and must become for so many others-alert, tactile, and learning."
-Bethany Catlin, Rain Taxi Review of Books
"In Cherokee Rose Miriam Moore-Keish writes about the pain of family, the pain of the South, the beauty of family, the beauty of the South, the complexity of family, complexity of the South, and also the beauty, pain, and complexity of faith."
-Terra Elan McVoy, author of The Summer of Firsts and Lasts, Pure, and
Being Friends with Boys
"Moore-Keish captures tastes of biscuits and irony. You'll find the South here."
-Cindy Henry McMahon, author of Fresh Water from Old Wells
