Her poems have been called "stunning" and "remarkable."
In this rare and intimate debut poetry chapbook, Peggy Perdue cultivates the rocky but fertile soil of grief, motherhood, and longing.
These poems delve into the relationships that shape us, from friends and family we've loved and lost and the places we've called home, to our most essential selves. Comfort sifts through the sorrows of not only death but also life, how each event gives birth to one possibility, while another potential is laid to waste. Perdue's lyrical, narrative poems stretch to the sky while keeping their roots planted firmly in the earth.
