The Carrion of Songs

By Amber Showalter

Tender poetry with bite, a little salt, and lightly peppered with profanity, Amber Showalter's debut collection takes the reader on a harrowing yet heartfelt journey. From the bedside of a dying hospital patient ("Obituary") to the small-town bar in everyone's hometown ("Hiraeth"), from a haunted empty parking lot ("Ghost in the Parking Lot") to the bottom of numerous wine bottles (multiple poems), Showalter's writing is merciless yet vulnerable. She is not afraid to tell the reader exactly where she's been. Haunting illustrations by artist Amy Siever amplify the raw beauty in The Carrion of Songs.
