Summary:
"In the title poem of her debut collection of poetry, To Speak, Michelle Elrickwrites: My silence seems inevitable//as if I cannot afford to give anything away.//As if I have given it all already, given it to you/? When the failure of a love affair renders everything irrevocably strange, unutterable, the poet begins a quest in search of the means to be able to ? speak? again. It is this journey that the reader is invited to become a part of, traveling by poem on a road trip that will take them both through miles and miles of familiar and uncharted terrain. Seduced by the quiet yet forceful voice of the speaker readers will find themselves entranced by what a word can have bottled up inside of it. The beauty and strength of Michelle Elrick's poetry is that it resonates with simplicity and moth-like grace even when it is asking for the world. So when she asks, ?Are you a kiln? //Are you a can of Krylon it does seem entirely possible."--Back cover
