In This Light
Submitted 4 years 2 months ago by Jo Ely.
A long dead slave who haunts an old nun. Didi Kincaid and her tribe of homeless children. Nobody's Daughters, picking up men in the rain at truck stops or Raymond Good Bird. Scarred war veteran with "a face to love" because without love there was no way to look at him. In this extraordinary 2011 collection outsiders, runaways, downtrodden and heartbroken people are all turned inside out, made beautiful and strange. In Melanie Rae Thon's capable hands "Ten words could fill a day" but "a hundred might describe a lifetime."
