<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Alison Rollins, a librarian by trade, disrupts the canon by re-cataloging language, culture, and history in her debut collection.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Rollins' debut is a book of dissonance, with race and women's bodies proving two unyielding concerns throughout this four-part work. In poem after poem, Rollins demonstrates that she is finding her own way, shining a light, making darkness apparent." ―<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "The range of Rollins' poetic skill is remarkable. The result is a collection of poetry which is magnificently crafted, readable, and crucially important." ―<i>New York Journal of Books</i> <p/> <em>Library of Small Catastrophes</em>, Alison Rollins' ambitious debut collection, interrogates the body and nation as storehouses of countless tragedies. Drawing from Jorge Luis Borges' fascination with the library, Rollins uses the concept of the archive to offer a lyric history of the ways in which we process loss. "Memory is about the future, not the past," she writes, and rather than shying away from the anger, anxiety, and mourning of her narrators, Rollins' poetry seeks to challenge the status quo, engaging in a diverse, boundary-defying dialogue with an ever-present reminder of the ways race, sexuality, spirituality, violence, and American culture collide.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alison C. Rollins, a Cave Canem fellow, is the recipient of a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation.
