Summary

"The poems in Leah Osowski's exquisite debut, hover over her, trace the various constructions of adolescence and gender in twenty-first century America through the experience of three young women who speak in a single, collective voice. That's the easy, catalogue-like description. But the narrative through-line is complicated by the notion of geography: the poems' geographies, the girls' physical spaces, the landscapes of Osowski's lyrical music and syntax. In one way or another, these poems are constantly trying to locate themselves, living in the liminal spaces between comfort and fear, discovery and youth"--Foreword, page xi.
