Call My Name by Heather Wyatt

Call My Name by Heather Wyatt

Call My Name by Heather Wyatt is a collection of poems from the voice of a small-town southern woman working through relationships with her family and discovering who she is along the way. She writes of loved ones who have departed and her sometimes broken spiritual life. From pimento cheese sandwiches to walks in nature, this collection is inherently southern. With moments of both humor and heartbreak, she not only shares her struggle with body image, but takes us on a journey of love and loss, with each poem revealing the story of a woman simply wanting someone to call her name.

EARLY PRAISE:

In Call My Name, Heather Wyatt shows herself as a lyric poet daring enough to show her true faces to the world--faces that reflect wonder and humor and joy and anger and loss.

--Jason McCall, author of Silver, I Can Explain, and Dear Hero

With humor and precision, . Wyatt] gives us the real details, the key images that resonate.

--Greg Pape, author of Four Swans, Montana Poet Laureate, emeritus

Wyatt conjures snapshots from memory that prove that we see ourselves best through the mirrors others provide us. This beautiful work invites us into the mysteries and paradoxes of our humanity with humor, candor and deep vision.

--Ashley McWaters, author of Whitework
