<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A collection of poetry set in Kansas and Texas that explores women's lives, immigration, and environmental issues"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>It's not often you see a whole life that's gone into a book, but here we have just that. Janice Northerns lives this life intensely, and lives intensely in language. At the core of this book are the raw elements of birth, love, and death; while surrounding them are sophisticated yet impassioned readings of the violence of history, class, and social codes. These are poems to be read both largely and closely, for the stories they tell, and for their turns of poetic craft. You don't just read this book, you enter it. </em></p><p> --William Wenthe</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Janice Northerns' debut collection, <em>Some Electric Hum, </em>disentangles the gnarled branches of a family tree into poems of complicated love and endurance. Deeply engaged with place, these poems range across Texas to Kansas to hold up the objects and people that created a personal history and "grapple with words just west of the tongue." Intimate and invested in the lives of others, Northerns crafts narratives of tenderness and survival, reminding us all it's always possible to move forward and carry our stories with us.<br /> </p><p>Traci Brimhall</p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
