Work by Bloodlight

By Julia Bouwsma

Work by Bloodlight is the first full-length collection of poetry by Maine Poet Laureate Julia Bouwsma. The poems in Work by Bloodlight are earthy, meticulous, and essential.

"The elegiac is a most tender and yet most rigorous accounting. Every detail of its fact and decorum must register upon flesh, upon the syllables of flesh. In Work By Bloodlight, Bouwsma unfailingly discovers the higher registers and the keenest syllables. They beautifully prove to be a "wingspan against snow." --Donald Revell

"What an earthy song, these poems They rise up from the dark earth, the images quirked and turned to serve a raw transformative vision in this twenty-first century book of seeing with your eyes open. This book will be useful for visionaries, taxidermists, and all those who look for the exact knowledge of the sacred in profane earthy humanness." --Joy Harjo
