Magnolia Canopy Otherworld is stunning collection of poetry that captures rural American life in its many complex shades.
Carlyle's writing is suffused with equal parts surreal imagery and harrowing reality. In the world of these poems, ghosts exist alongside overdoses; Appalachian folklore is neighbors with the modern struggle of poverty in rural America.
This collection also pays special attention to womanhood, specifically how it is challenged and abused in rural communities. Carlyle shares intimate thoughts and memories in these poems that paint a painful but ultimately hopeful picture of what being a woman in America is (and should) be like.
Readers looking for poetry about the American south and Appalachia can do no better than Magnolia Canopy Otherworld. These are tender, generous, haunting poems that reveal an often-overlooked subset of America struggling to redefine themselves in an ever-changing world.
This collection also features a bespoke interview with the writer at then end of the book, delving deeper into the craft, influences, and life behind their work.
