Poetry

Head Off & Split

By Nikky Finney

About this book

Nikky Finney’s poems move between family scenes and public events, listening closely to the words people use to explain what they have seen. The collection asks what becomes visible when a poem slows down an image, a memory, or a story heard on the news. Its range makes room for intimacy as well as political anger.
