Publisher Description: Winner of the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize In The Rival, Sara Wallace takes her readers on an intimate journey through a woman's solitary, surreal rural childhood and her brutal, sexually fraught first marriage to the conflicted redemption she finds in motherhood and a second chance at love. In this debut poetry collection, Wallace reveals how closely emotional devastation and transcendence can coexist. The Rival is sensuous, darkly humorous, and frequently luminous in its unflinching exploration of the inner life. |
