This is a description:

Tanya Standish McIntyre gives voice to the unspoken, shining a light into the dark corners of our collective memory, revealing an indelible past that gleams with striking clarity, empathy, and humanity. Taking seed in the dilapidated barns and warm sunlit rooms of McIntyre’s personal history, these poems embed themselves in the mind of the reader, weaving a lush filigree of well-worn remembrances and time-honored treaties of the self, half-forgotten yet ever-lingering. A stunning debut by a promising new poetic voice, haunting and uplifting in equal measure. The sweeping power of its narrative force will leave you spellbound.
