McLarney reconsiders girlhood stories, acknowledges omissions from Southern history, and studies the silences of women's and other voices left out of accounts of the past. Yet she does not write of only what has been lost, defying elegy with tributes to her mother while she is alive to read them, and finding vibrancy that remains in sources such as weeds, gravel, insect shells, and the flawed human body. \u003ci\u003eColorfast \u003c\/i\u003eweaves its threads into poems that, like the women who dwell in them, are subtly strong enough to stand alone, while they also connect into a provocative conversation about heritage and the holds we can keep.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRose McLarney\u003c\/b\u003e's collections of poems are \u003ci\u003eColorfast\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForage\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIts Day Being Gone\u003c\/i\u003e, from Penguin Poets, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Always Broken Plates of Mountains\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Four Way Books.
