Winner of the 2020 Burnside Review Press Book Award, selected by Jennifer Chang
An ecstatic skeptic, Meghan Maguire Dahn writes at the edges of knowledge and feeling to excavate a life out of the god-hungry, terrified, and terrifying landscape that is our contemporary moment. In poems of extraordinary vulnerability and bravery, she speaks of 'the hidden things, ' of the 'abyss in the body, ' in a 'state suspended by imperfect choices, ' and with 'the stutter-green sorrow of our whole world.' To read Domain is to recognize such uncanny wisdom with relief and a little bit of fear, and so it is impossible not to put your faith in--to be touched by--Dahn's wondrous and bountiful perspicacity.--Jennifer Chang
