Selected by Stephen Corey as the winner of the Ninth Annual White Pine Press Poetry Prize, this book announces the arrival of a formidable new voice in American letters. Richey amply demonstrates the passion for language and for life that led her to abandon a successful business career to pursue a writer's life. Meticulously crafted poems reflect Richey's upbringing in West Virginia, as well as the journey toward Manhattan and a life very different from what might have been expected. At every turn we encounter a woman unafraid to grow into herself and fully engage with the world and generous enough to allow the reader to see that world through her eyes.
