Two
collections being published in October and November by poets Stephanie Rogers and Katie Manning are infused with the
sense of loss, displacement, and even a kind of a grittiness that fits what
they write about.
The 37 poems of Plucking
the Stinger (Oct. 4) by Stephanie Rogers deal with such subjects as
childhood and adult pain, problems with commitment, broken relationships, illness,
unexpected death, and despair. Dark subjects – but ones made vividly real by an
almost brutal, dispassionate honesty. The images she creates and evokes are
riveting, and what she writes becomes the pain we ourselves experience.
