<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The poems of Master Suffering pendulate between yield and command; the bodies of this book are supplicant yet seething - they want nothing more than to survive. But how does a woman survive? One's own healthy body helps, but illness is one of the masters of this book. Faith can be a salve for the inscrutable ailments of the body, but God is unreliable in these poems. The female bodies of Master Suffering want power; they want to control and to correct the suffering they witness and withstand." --Back cover<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"CM Burroughs's <em>Master Suffering</em> is <strong>transcendent</strong>... a book-length conjuring to counter grief's entropy. It is a pulsing utterance<strong> providing solace in the dark</strong>."</p><p>--Simone Muench</p><p>"<strong>A striking, brave, and stunning book</strong>. I love Burroughs's poems and I love <em>Master Suffering</em>. <strong>It's not easy to make poems like these, and they are important.</strong>" --Sean Singer</p><p>"<em>Master Suffering</em>: a directive? Or a direct address? CM Burroughs throws us off-balance before we've opened the cover of her dynamic new collection, and<strong> continues to blow us away, moving us further and more deeply with each turn of the page.</strong>"</p><p>--Evie Shockley</p><p>The poems of <em>Master Suffering</em> pendulate between yield and command; the bodies of this book are supplicant yet seething--they want nothing more than to survive.
