Shoulder Season by Ange Mlinko, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In Ange Mlinko'sShoulder Season observation and metaphor are always on edge. . . . The poems are at once formally engaged, playful, and disturbing. It's a wild ride and a great read."-Rae ArmantroutWith a title that plays upon "shouldering" one's burden, this equally fanciful and hard-hitting collection captures the uncertainties and economic turmoil of twenty-first-century life, where the mind might still be "a little spa," but the future "is hedged against the / boys who died."A longtime East Coast resident and language columnist forThe Nation, Ange Mlinko currently lives in Beirut. Her poems have appeared inThe New Yorker, The London Review of Books, Poetry, and elsewhere." | Shoulder Season by Ange Mlinko, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
