A Rare But Possible Condition - Paperback

by Alison Davis (Author)

A Rare But Possible Condition holds at its center an inescapable question: what happens when you lose everything? The collection opens with the proverbial "before," inviting readers to the altar of the everyday, where children forage summer fruits, the dictionary tells stories, moving boxes are sealed up, and poems are whimsy. When the everyday is reduced to ruins in the wake of coming out, the speaker has to decide what's next. The book makes no resolution, only a resolve to fall into Something Greater.
