Katherin Edwards examines the fine line between what we remember and forget; how the memories we retain become cloudy and altered by the passage of time. This book of poems is also a compilation of the wonder and surprise we discover, when we manage to endure in the midst of grief and loss.

Katherin Edwards has her MFA in writing from the University of British Columbia. Her fiction has appeared in The Malahat Review as well as the collaborative novel At The Edge. Her creative non-fiction has appeared in In This Together. A two-time winner at Eden Mills for poetry, she has also been published in Arc, The New Quarterly, as well in chapbook form with JackPine Press.

Katherin Edwards' profile page

"Reading these poems, after the recent death of my husband, grace, and thankfulness, come to mind. Katherin Edwards knows the grief of it. A button dangling from a cuff, blue skies that weep like an elephant, pearly everlasting- these poems are a gentle, timely reminder: to sow our oats and let our gods run wild."
Susan Musgrave, author of Origami Dove

"These poems, like a kaleidoscope, set the world of loss aglow and illuminate the tilt of memory as it tumbles back through years, picks up the pieces, and holds them up as proof of beauty within the fracture of elegy. Unflinching and resolute, yet tender and raw, this collection sings even the names of common weeds into song, and leans hard into the light at sorrow's edge."
Carla Funk, author of Gloryland
