<p>In <strong><em>What Have I Done?</em></strong> Carrie Close writes all these little birds keep picking at me/hard determined beaks peck through skin scrape/against bone-they dance and chirp ominous tones... The connection Close builds between themes of love motherhood and relationships&nbsp;hits you in the face like a taut rubber band forcing you to hone in on every last detail. Close pens a charged feminist collection that avoids polishing for the sake of looking good.</p><p><br></p>
