<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poems highlight through the dark parts of our memory that seem the most clear to our adult selves looking back.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>If two girls are two halves of a deep, lifelong friendship, what does one girl wholly become when the other is gone? Amy Woolard's debut collection, <i>Neck Of The Woods</i>, sets this question as a hero-quest deep inside the mythos of the American South, wandering through childhood stories in which a girl alone must work to save herself. These poems take on what happens when you wake up the morning after something happens, and find yourself in a different world, knowing there isn't truly a way back home. Part-elegy, part-survivor's testimony, <i>Neck Of The Woods</i> maps a path divided into a before and an ever after.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Amy Woolard is a writer and legal aid attorney working on court & criminal justice reform, education, safety net, health, and poverty policy & legislation in Virginia.
