Fluent in Silence

By Jayne Shore

Beginning with a wagon's tumultuous crossing through the Rocky Mountains, Fluent in Silence startles readers awake to the surreal and unspoken. This debut chapbook is Jayne Shore's reckoning with languages lost, a mother tongue abandoned, and her grandmother's sudden decline, as she works to revise the scripts she's inherited about womanhood. "Once the map was wrong / about me, I could be anything," Shore writes, "even lonely in the night, / even safe in the dark."
