Advance Praise for Acid Rain Epithalamium
Acid Rain Epithalamium is a rich, layered text that
showcases a range of formal and thematic work.
Within the poems are reversals, questionings,
tentativeness as the speaker grieves losses-but
there's a strength of voice underneath that
hesitancy that is explosive, espouses commitment
to an unmapped future, and is ready to be set free.
Khadijah Queen, author of Anodyne
With this exquisite debut collection from Becca
Downs, we join the poet as she navigates divorce,
climate change, and the many parallels in these
transformations, as in the title piece:
this isn't the rain we asked for
but it is the rain we've made
love to dropped to one
knee bound ourselves for life
this could be a celebration
windborn praise songs
crawling toward mountaintops
Suzi Q. Smith, author of A Gospel of Bones
