Impossible Thirst Kathryn de Lancellotti

Impossible Thirst is an awakening into both the personal and historical present moment. It questions what it means to possess a body, and how we must move through an oppressive landscape. Unapologetic and raw, the poems do not flinch from uncomfortable truths about motherhood, grief, God, womanhood, and our own impermanence. Versed in an earthy yet cosmic sense of place, the poems evoke animalism and intelligence, wildness and serenity, heartache and grace.
