4.0
I've loved Betsy Sholl's work a long time, but have actually read very little of it. Rough Cradle was an opportunity to welcome more of her work into my world, and I'm so glad I did.
Sholl explores nature, grief, race, parental relationships, art, and more in this collection. She has a way with the end of a poem that leaves me breathless, and her work is both accessible and full of images that make the reader work a little. Completely satisfying.
Loved, especially, her poems "Sparrow Farming," "Bird Watching," and "Twentieth Century Limited."
