Advance praise for Because the bullet arrives
The French poet Jean Follain once said, "Guns are the jewelry of men." In Caroline Rash's poems guns can serve as talismans, for both men and women, of desire and love. Her poems have a richness of close attention to detail. Some are vivid speculations about mortality, and affection for those no longer with us. Others celebrate contact with water, contact of body to body, body in contact with the larger world. In Rash's work we hear voices of both struggle and achievement, inspired by close family bonds, and anticipation of new life.
