Abstract
Mary Kate Scraggs’s collection of poetry aims for both stillness and exploration as she uncovers a memory landscape that is intimate, faraway, strange, and fleeting. Her poems tackle themes of time, memory, illness, grief, and love while slipping in and out of what is real and what is mystical, both formally and conceptually, the breath ever-present and aware of its humanness, of its desire to wander.
