Thaw: Poems, Paperback - Chelsea Dingman
The poems follow the speaker, as both mother and daughter, as she travels through harsh and beautiful landscapes in Canada, Sweden, and the United States. Thaw delves into the issues at the core of a resilient family: kin ship, poverty, violence, death, abuse, and grief. Moving through these places, she examines how her surroundings affect her inner landscape; the natural world becomes both a place of refuge and a threat.
