In the Mouth of the Wolf

By Moriah Erickson

In these haunted, haunting poems, we spend long nights alone in "leaky trailers" where "wind screams through the mouse holes." And it's here In the Mouth of the Wolf with voices terrifying and beautiful, Moriah Erickson reminds us that some ghosts must be faced head-on. Take your seats, please. This is a brave book. -Ryan Vine The poems in this powerful uncompromising first book, speak to and from, hard feelings, feelings we typically push away as too strenuous, even on a good day. It's not that Moriah Erickson can handle those feelings any better than the rest of us. It is that she has found a language in her poems to follow the path of emotional truth, through alleys, wastelands and abysses. There is, however, no pervasive cloak of darkness here. Rather, there's a strong, bracing light one feels when someone has been honest about the careless, hurtful vitality that goes along with being alive. -Baron Wormser
