In poems that wander the landscapes of childhood, Woolard gives us a lone girl who must learn to rescue herself, carrying both the beauty and the burden of survival. These poems trace the disorienting moment of waking into a world forever altered-the morning after loss, after violence, after revelation-when the familiar has fallen away and there is no way back home. \u003cem\u003eNeck of the Woods\u003c\/em\u003e is a book of thresholds, where elegy meets testimony, where the intimacy of friendship collides with grief, and where the fractured self begins to speak its own name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy Woolard is a writer and legal aid attorney working on court \u0026amp; criminal justice reform, education, safety net, health, and poverty policy \u0026amp; legislation in Virginia.
