As In The Dark, Descend

As in the dark, descend asks: When you get to the end of what you know, what's underneath? Is it possible to un-know a heartbreak, a thing, a person. Why is it desired? The poems in this debut collection from Rachel McLeod Kaminer present voices, geographies that are Appalachian and Angeleno, idiosyncrasies of all attribution, reckoning with what is owed, stolen. Icons. Textures. The poet and the poems accept that we make meaning, continue to fight the sealing of meaning. Listen to listen again. And writing and reading poetry offer a possibility for made-meanings to become less inevitable.
