worn thresholds by Julie Berry – my lover’s ex-neck and why (Brick Books) - Brick Books Poetry Map (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
St. Thomas , Ontario - Julie Berry lives in St. Thomas, Ontario. Reading Julie Berry's poetry means entering a new poetic space, crossing thresholds of pain and delight at once raw and refined. "like marie d'oignies who buried bloody/ mouthfuls of herself/ in the garden/ i need my poems to be::text like this," Berry writes in "Touching Ground." "Like this" is finely-turned and constantly surprising, haunting as plainsong, throaty as the blues.

"When you walk into the world with these poems in your head, the world has a new clarity, more light. The most startling and unforgettable book of poetry I've read in a long time." - Susan Musgrave
