cold days: a book of poetry

The first book of collected poems by Kelsey Erin Shipman. Experience the poet's initial brush with the page in poems recounting the death of a grandmother, forbidden love and a familiar search for identity. Her performance roots are obvious in fiercely political poems such as "a manifesto for my sister" and in subversive love poems like "sail". After many years of work from the award-winning poet, this first book is a cherished relict from her early days of writing.
