The cycling, elusive memory-making of the villanelle is most apt as the speaker tries to wring more clarity from the static nature of written history.

Unfolding over four sections—each sprinkled with villanelles and other crackling formal quirks—Witch Wife deftly slides back and forth between the humorous and the devastating, between the guttural and the cosmic, between the conditions of America and the particularities of the speaker’s own body. The body is “runny custard . . . with its buried corkscrew of hate.” The body is “botched,” is prophesied to have “a good belly for twins.” Motherhood, for the speaker a subject of yearning, fear, and revulsion, is a tension at the collection’s heart. In “Ghosts,” one of many poems in this collection haunted by the ghost of Anne Sexton, mothers “wear the moonrise like lace.” On top of it all, Witch Wife is tremendously, darkly funny. In the afterlife, the speaker’s exes “rise up from their Mazdas & adorn themselves in denim.” Certain to make many ‘best of’ lists for poetry this year, Witch Wife is not one to be missed." http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2018/1/2/black-genealogy-is-sundress-publications-best-dressed monthly 0.5 2018-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1514924328164-D7JFYPOM5SCOV8XA6KT0/Screen+Shot+2018-01-02+at+3.16.18+PM.png Blog - Black Genealogy is Sundress Publication's "Best Dressed" http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2017/12/22/witch-wife-named-among-the-best-poetry-of-2017 monthly 0.5 2017-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1513957857851-HRN509L7JNMPOT3FT4SD/Screen+Shot+2017-12-22+at+10.48.18+AM.png Blog - Witch Wife Named Among the Best Poetry of 2017 http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2017/12/16/new-poem-in-the-nation monthly 0.5 2017-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1513440969408-9ME9G1VGW4QEXIBIFR4L/Screen+Shot+2017-12-16+at+11.15.42+AM.png Blog - New Poem in The Nation http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2017/12/13/witch-wife-is-consortiums-diverse-book-of-the-week monthly 0.5 2017-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1513175956288-6GFTKNWBRIPG8R1AHUI6/Screen+Shot+2017-12-13+at+9.35.01+AM.png Blog - Witch Wife is Consortium's Diverse Book of the Week http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2017/12/12/a-pub-day-playlist-to-celebrate-witch-wife monthly 0.5 2017-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1513103082108-3DPEG6XM8MKQ4MHG1514/Screen+Shot+2017-12-12+at+1.23.47+PM.png Blog - A Pub Day Playlist to Celebrate Witch Wife You can have but one true breakup song in a lifetime. http://www.kikipetrosino.com/blog/2017/12/12/welcome-to-the-world-witch-wife monthly 0.5 2017-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dec1ace4b00d4519a939d7/1513102673867-44VKO2P4P5VBB5C077DY/25182290_1887955044551292_615740594200849294_o.jpg Blog - Welcome to the World, Witch Wife!
