Arboretum in a Jar - Paperback

by Frances Donovan (Author), Michael McGinnis (Designed by), Christine Jones (Editor)

Arboretum in a Jar uses personae to evoke the fractured self that results from a traumatic childhood. The poet revisits stories and fairy tales, invigorating and reframing them in ways that transcend the traditional passive nature of their heroines. She challenges the tropes of childhood, innocence, and femininity.
