Kay Bell's piercing and poignant collection of poems begins in a place of displacement, as thepoet endures her childhood uprooting from the Caribbean islands to a fragmented America.There she encounters a mother's harsh life, fatherlessness, a stressed girlhood, and elusiveopportunity. She is "sponsored by aching," and experiences "what it means to be a grownwoman afraid of the dark," and discovers "how difficult it is to anticipate the morning." Yet thepoet's voice is resilient and determined, seeking intimate romantic connection, while attemptingto relearn "trust in man's uprooting flesh.".
