<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"From hospice to feather bed, daybed to sleigh bed, Kimberly Becker renders each in their uniqueness. With humor, tenderness, and smart turns of phrase, she re-inscribes this everyday piece of furniture, ventures into dream worlds, storied landscapes, and haunted spaces of incest and abuse. Taken together, these striking poems invite the reader to unlock the ghost spaces of their own past. Survival is a mere outlasting; but here healing comes in the telling"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Bed Book masterfully calls out and talks back to grim truths and demonstrates why poetry is necessary and sought after in moments of reimagining where beauty might reside and need protecting. This collection fulfills its purpose as a valuable roadmap through the complex lineages of this oeuvre. Each compelling poem contains a world in miniature. Each bed is intense, dark, fertile, complicated, and wondrously overwhelming as they disintegrate into word portraits. Kimberly L. Becker makes poetry of searing scars and seething blood. Stunning and haunting language illuminates the ghosts of time and place with a vibrancy so visceral you can hear the pores of the skin, the chambers of the heart, the scream in the throat opening wider releasing truth and light.</p><p> Jaki Shelton Green, North Carolina Poet Laureate</p>
