Fixing the Halo - Paperback

by Lindsay Adkins (Author)

In this short poetry collection, Lindsay Adkins uses peronas and reimaginings to examine how religion (specifically Catholicism) and tradition have impacted her life, as well as the lives of women who came before her. Equal measures reverent and defiant, these poems expose the difficult and raw truths behind stories we think we know by amplifying often-ignored voices with a feminist megaphone. In weaving family history with Biblical references and allegories, the poet reclaims a faith she can call her own.
