Incorrect Merciful Impulses
Coppper Canyon Press
Purchase: City of Asylum Bookstore (signed copies available) | Bookshop
“A striking debut that delights with its sculpted lines, surprising insights, and clear-sighted observations about communication and isolation.”
—Washington Post
“Sensuously immediate but never populist, au courant but never tied to headlines, and trailing—with fearful eagerness—the spirit of Plath, Rankine's first full-length gathering sounds as if she knew that people were listening, and it has no trouble holding listeners fast.”
—Stephanie Burt, American Poets

—Cornelius Eady, Judge
