Pretty Marrow

Pretty Marrow

Beware appearances, the poems of Pretty Marrow seem to argue. That scrap of paper might be an albino trout, your grandmother a wolf, your beloved house an act of arson waiting for the fated night. In her debut collection, Shanan Ballam looks trouble squarely in the eyeâ€”whatever its source. The result? A book of brave, unflinching witness, tempered by the promise of transformation. A book youâ€™ll want to get your hands on. Why continue to wade through swamps and freezing snow? Why ask searing questions? Like the rest of us, her speakers hope to be â€œswirled away to a place unblemished, where light can pour its honey on your face.â€ â€”Lance Larsen, Poet Laureate of Utah
