Interrupted Geographies

By Iris Jamahl Dunkle

Book Overview

Interrupted Geographies is about transient communities and places, with poems that both inform and move the reader. The bulk of the collection explores the history of Pithole, a "boom" oil town of western Pennsylvania that gives voice to the hopes and fears of those who traveled there seeking wealth, only to disband the town after less than a year. The theme of dreams followed and left unrealized, a riff on the American Dream, permeates the collection.
