The Winged and the Horned

By Tammy C Greenwood

Tammy C. Greenwood's debut chapbook, The Winged & the Horned, explores infertility, step-motherhood, mental health and addiction. Fertility images of the rabbit are woven with depictions of desolate desert landscapes, droughts and wildfires. The poems move across country from Texas to California with "horizons of pumpjacks replaced by saguaro cactus." The Winged & the Horned maps a journey of healing, anchored in wonder of the natural world. Juxtaposed against a search for belonging, she interrogates the notion that blood is thicker than water. In this cohesive collection, Greenwood carries the reader through this unraveling, discovering that in a world without resolution, surrendering to the towhee, raven and barn owl, may be its only salvation.
