Midwestern Poet’s Incomplete Guide to Symbolism
By Erica Anderson-Senter | High School English and Creative Writing Teacher
“These poems root us deep in Midwestern landscapes as we encounter litanies, psalms, and a lush unsentimental tenderness that sings out “that swift, / startling joy” in the same breath as gutting loss. This is an extraordinary, courageous debut collection.”
Emily Mohn-Slate, author of The Falls
Anderson-Senter’s book is available at amazon.com.
