The First Daughter

Margaret McMurtry's debut chapbook portrays the people and landscape of a working-class Appalachian childhood and young adulthood. Nowhere do these poems idealize, but portray others and self with unwavering honesty and precise insight. McMurtry's voice can unsettle as easily as it can soothe. Whatever the topic or tone, each poem makes its mark.
