Lantern Lines

"I am not the gardening sort but I was reckless enough to plant minutes near my lungs and wake up months later asking, Who are you and what are you going to do about it?" A striking and honest debut about the ways the world can delight and devastate us, Kathleen Quinn lays bare experiences of love, grief, isolation and hope with words that are both deeply personal and profoundly universal. Surrounding the years of the pandemic, this collection explores all the ways that we can lose ourselves and the depth of the journey back.
