The List of Last Tries - Paperback

by Jessica L. Walsh (Author)

"Jessica Walsh's The List of Last Tries is a miracle of focus, a sustained gothic nursery rhyme that describes a girl's coming of age and coming into power, for which she is shunned and exiled as freak, witch, and murderer. This collection is a captivating female picaresque, each poem taking a step deeper into marginality's fierce power." - Diane Seuss, Still Life with Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl, Four- Legged Girl, Pulitzer Prize Finalist
