The Lost Child: Ozark Poems

by Wesley McNair

Book Overview

Winner of the 2015 PEN New England Award for Poetry

The linked poems in The Lost Child explore hope, delusion, family struggles, and lost selves through the people and places in the Ozarks of Southern Missouri. But the most important theme of all is reconciliation, as McNair attempts through these poems to know and understand his mother through the place she was born.
