And If the Woods Carry You

Winner of the 2020 Michael Waters Poetry Prize
Winner of the American Book Fest 2022 "Contemporary Poetry" Best Book Award

On the brink of climate catastrophe, a mother grappling with her choice to bring children into an apocalyptic world sends her daughters into the woods of fairy tale as a rite of initiation. The woods carry her fears of extinction--devastating fires, rising seas, and the predatory dangers of girlhood--but also contain the transformative magic of love, interdependence, and renewal. And If the Woods Carry You roots into the wild heart of motherhood, where worry and wonder intertwine.
