Some Churches

Churches are fixed structures that enable intangible beliefs. In Some Churches, Tasha Cotter gives words similar power to transform. Each poem in this collection is like a penance, a salve when 'we are strangled by the walls,' when we feel like only 'shell and shadow.' Here's a book that fills the spaces between 'what we say / aloud' with tight lines and fresh thoughts; a worthy poetic companion as we 'drink the galaxy and try to locate an edge.' (Nick Ripatrazone)
