The poems in UNDER THE TENTED SKIN explore the experiences of women & girls through folkloric history, discursive memory, and spectacle. Visiting and re-visiting situations all-too-common, Kubasta asks the listener to inhabit close quarters, from early socialization of girls to rural teenagerhood, to adult womanhood and ts traps. She warns “I don’t throw the skins away / and I’ve been known to gnaw a bone.”

Firefall, by Heather Lang-Cassera, whispers to us the urgency of climate change. In hushed tones, lyrical free verse and cyclical pantoums evoke the diminishing and intensifying seasons. We might look for comfort in the occasional rhyming couplets, in the evocative syntax, in the breathtaking imagery that portrays the beauty of this world, yet these ecopoems require us to parse out seeming dualities: fire and flood, repetition and redundancy, vulnerable witness and autonomous self.
