Sweet Gothic

Arts & Literature

“In Sweet Gothic, exquisite details echo from poem to poem, creating a world of generations: a birth mother lost but always called to, a storied sister never met, and students with their quirks of innocence. By turns audacious, funny, elegant, and heartbreaking, these poems search the borders between a family born to and one given, between past and present, but always rooted deeply in Appalachia. An American symphony of a book, Sweet Gothic shows poet Colette Tennant at the height of her powers.”
