Blood Histories
A new chapbook from Tara Stillions Whitehead
$14, shipping included
“Innocence lost—more likely stolen—as glitter vacuumed from a child’s open chest: Blood Histories functions, in part, as an experiment in confession, interrogating how we are educated and educate others into and out of existence. The speaker tells of the burdened blood of women, flowing with trauma and diseased with memory, how we are ‘genetically predisposed to self-destruct.’ There are lines in this collection that no one has written before—that, perhaps, no one has ever even thought but has only felt.”

“Julia Wendell’s highly charged poems trace both real and imagined selves through wordly and intimate histories. These are lyrics of great elegance and power.”
—David St. John, author of The Last Troubadour
