Say That: MARY BURRITT CHRISTIANSEN POETRY

Caton Garcia's poems layer sound and image to offer a tangible point of access into the complex and often contradictory ideas contained within the work. Love, loss, memory, and the hidden lives of a range of speakers and characters become the interwoven themes of this book, each presented in raw and unflinching narrative and metaphor. Say That is divided into two sections. The first presents the lived experience of the speakers, while the second strips the "story" to unveil a dreamlife where memory and history haunt the lives they lead.
