Conditions of the Wounded by Anna Leigh Knowles
In her startling debut, Anna Knowles lays bare the suburban violence and wrenching pain that bely clean white picket fences and houses neatly aligned down neighbourhood streets. Her poetry explores how fear, pain, and anguish can unexpectedly take hold and settle into the smallest spaces within us.-

A poetry of narrative tension, lyrical beauty, and incredible, breath-stealing imaginationThese poems show place as a reliquary of trauma but they also show how joy and love can rise in even the most broken places. Grief struck and haunted, these are points of hope and light in a way only poems can be." - Judy Jordan, author of Carolina Ghost Woods
