me a thing to be dismembered

 In this exquisite collection, Emily Murman brings us into tender and harrowing intimacy with death, desire, and the body. Never slipping into the comforting scripts around love and grief, the poems of me a thing to be dismembered use tightly crafted line and startling imagery to thread dark tangles of meaning and tension. Beautifully crafted, vulnerable, violent, and at the core deeply compassionate.
