This collection is steeped in dirt and framed within the politics of disgust concerning sexuality and the gendered body in the often-fantastical world of the American South. Morton uses formal play to hold contradictions together-- a contrapuntal poem to tell two versions of a story, or a string of sonnets, which queer the form from poem to poem, invoking both familiarity and mutation. In these poems, spiritual and religious concerns-- the beauty and the harm that they potentiate-- converge and haunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane Morton's poetry collection \u003ci\u003eShedding Season\u003c\/i\u003e will be published by Black Lawrence Press in 2025.
