Close Red Water

By Emma Aylor

"Equal parts attention as an act of prayer and tough-minded honesty, Aylor's poems trouble affection for the hard-bitten world they create." --Pimone Triplett

CLOSE RED WATER is a book about leaving home and the complex processes of memory, haunting, and love. Broadly, the collection's structure records the emotional arc of learning to leave, look back on, and love a place. As much as the poems of CLOSE RED WATER are focused on the land, ecologies, and intimacies of rural Virginia, they are also concerned with personal and collective memory, and especially the ways in which our imperfect memories are often not unearthed so much as they are put together or remade.
