Premonition - Paperback

by J. M. Paden (Author)

A ghost story told in a southern drawl meets a coming-of-age tale steeped in grit and magic, Premonition is both a recollection and a prediction. The poems tackle growing pains, abuse, womanhood, poverty, or the ever-near presence of death. Whether digging up dirt for a vampire boy, hearing a cat's yawn in a father's voice, or laughing at a funeral, the narrator's life isn't always as it first appears. Transformation and memory are at the heart of this collection.
