‘Rupture and Repair’ by Jerica Taylor

Rupture and Repair is a poetry collection that explores memory and belonging,
intrinsically linked with the optimism & the wisdom of nature.
Taylor’s immediacy provides a timely reminder of what it is to be alive,
and to be surrounded by the hope filled continuum of the natural world.

“In Rupture and Repair, Jerica Taylor drops us into the question of ‘what to do with the feathers / from the hens / the fox almost catches.’ The question centers us in a place of displacement. There’s no real footing; even the feathers are ephemeral in their space. And this place of questioning remains throughout the book, enticing with each new configuring of the possible. We are brought gently through bird places, motherhood, the unfamiliar familiar of learning to build family, and the steadied mud of the frog pond. The book unsettles and charms with its depth. Autumn gives way to winter, then early spring but the figuring of the seasons cannot quiet the chorus of animals that guide the pages of Rupture and Repair. A fascinating sequence of events and a joy to read.”
–Kari Flickinger, author of Ceiling Fan and The Gull and the Bell Tower
