by Candice M. Kelsey (Author)
Candice M. Kelsey's Another Place Altogether is a book of sweeping emotional and geographic expanse; of memory, introspection, and resilience; and especially of remaking, the speaker narrating her move from Los Angeles to Augusta, GA and back again. Cultural and environmental landscapes shape her desires to guarantee the adult life she invents for herself is more than she inherits. "I've run from your flesh in my flesh, / broken your bone in my bone" - across these poems, we witness the speaker break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and, in an era of political upheaval, raise her children with a love that is fiercely abundant and profoundly self-aware.
-Susan L. Leary, author of Dressing the Bear
