This is post #5. Every day for the entire duration of the National Poetry Month, I will try to post short write-ups about poetry books that I like. Today, let's take a look at Kristy Bowen's gorgeous book, The Fever Almanac. This is one of my longtime favorites. The Fever Almanac Publisher: Ghost Road Press ISBN-10: 097780349X ISBN-13: 978-0977803491 To buy from Amazon The Fever Almanac is a book of wants hoarded during a period of bad weather and recklessness. In this volume, Kristy Bowen’s poems are like fairy tales that espouse no morals. They read like dark secrets. The pale girls end up in the backseats of the boys in brown trucks. They brush their hair “until it hurts.” The houses are never filled because they all burn down or drought
…settles in its bones, rattles the windows. There is a recurring theme of rural lives being ruined by lust and discontent. From “scarlet fever,” ….The gas station, Tucson, where you bent me over the sink. Later told me your mom never touched you unless it was a beating. From “navigation,” All the roads have lost their signs. The climactic second to the last poem, “a dialogue in blue,” is my favorite piece in this collection. The seasickness is palpable. The hopelessness is forever here: The boats have failed us.
