Milktooth - Paperback

by Caitlin Dunn (Author)

Milktooth is a lyrical poetry chapbook rooted in the landscapes of the American West, where wildfire and drought change the shapes of life and death. These poems explore inheritance of place and family, and of the quiet ways we learn to live with what we keep.

Moving among mountains, the desert, and somewhere in the past, these poems gather like a pocket full of seashells from Death Valley. Milktooth considers what it means to belong to a place that is ever-changing, and how memory endures beyond the body that carries it.
