Against the backdrop of small towns built atop schist and granite, surrounded by violently cold, blue-gray Atlantic waters, Casey Lynn Roland's If the House is Inclined to Collapse offers poems that are both deeply personal and all too universal.

After a messy struggle to reconcile witnessing loved ones' battles with illness followed by their subsequent deaths, Roland fought through addiction to recovery, and with this collection offers a nod to a more hopeful future. And while the loss and toil behind many of these poems are not unique, they supply different considerations for their outcomes-what if, after the intensity of pain, we learn to embrace the stark contrast of the intense beauty that comes next?
