We Do Not Eat Our Hearts Alone: Poems

"What desire doesn't seem as of the distance across a sea?" asks the voice in Kerri Webster's debut collection of poetry, even as the poems attempt the transformation of that liminal space wherein word meets sense, loneliness meets solitude, and surface meets interior. Here, "the surface is our signature," and the image of stain presents a way for that surface to reflect that which it conceals. In this space, human intimacy encounters the transience and frailty of language, and through these encounters we discover that grace lies in "believing always in imprint."
