Description:An extraordinary collection of endurance and transformation by the award-winning author of BestiaryThe Renunciations is a book of resilience, survival, and the journey to radically shift one’s sense of self in the face of trauma.

These poems construct life rafts and sanctuaries even in their most devastating confrontations with what a person can bear, with how families harm themselves. With the companionship of “the oracle”—an observer of memory who knows how each close call with oblivion ends—the act of remembrance becomes curative, and personal mythologies give way to a future defined less by wounds than by possibility.In this gorgeous and heartrending second collection, we find the home one builds inside oneself after reckoning with a legacy of trauma—a home whose construction starts “with a razing.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
