Description
Chosen by renowned poet Carolyn Forche as a finalist in the1993 AWP Series in Poetry, Bruise Theory is Natalie Kenvin's debut poetrycollection. Compact and powerful, her poems fly like small fists. They addressemotional illness, mother-daughter relationships, friendship and erotic love,physical abuse, and the strength it takes to endure. These poems revealKenvin's extraordinary sympathy for her subjects - from her daughter in thethroes of emotional illness to the bold figure of the character Sweetie.
