Every Wreckage

<p>In his first full-length collection of poetry Ian C. Williams buries unearths and reburies the questions of adolescence and its legacy. These poems rooted in the mountains and forests of Appalachia wonder after the insecurities of growing up the fragility of fatherhood and the longing that haunts us as we search for stability and direction. With a voice at once razor-edged and tender Williams traverses a world deep in the underbrush as wild as it is domestic brimming with cocoons cicadas car crashes silverware drawers and dishes that never seem to be done. This collection examines the wreckage of our history and beckons us to Let it rest and wait for it to erupt in a beautiful catastrophe of riotous bloom.</p>
