Publisher's Description
The Inheritance Lands is Anna King's third work of poetry. Following her collection Wilderness, which chronicles a family's attempt to establish peace in a conflicted household, The Inheritance Lands traces the final unravelment of a marriage. As the speaker grapples with the post-divorce landscape, she navigates the aftershock of abandonment, her own undiagnosed anxiety, and a traumatized child with a debilitating eating disorder. Set in the hospitals and therapy clinics just as often as a backyard garden and family swimming pools, The Inheritance Lands boldly unfurls the darkness that drives people to self-destruct, and the unfailing power of the Lord to rebuild.
Endorsements (1)
“Anna King’s powerful third collection of poetry, The Inheritance Lands, fearlessly documents her emotional journey through a failing relationship while struggling to help her traumatized daughter. It immediately brings to mind W. D. Snodgrass’s Heart’s Needle with its strong, constant arc through adversity toward redemption. . . . King plows through adversity toward a hard-won peace and stronger faith.”
