Infos

Kara Jacksons Bloodstone Cowboy is a reclamation of her lineage, an affirmation of self, and a declaration of her right to contain multitudes. These poems from the 2019 National Youth Poet Laureate complicate the definition of womanhood, troubling what it means to live in a body and love it. A complex and resilient love permeates Jacksons writing, from anthems praising her full belly to poems grappling with sort-of love for her midwestern hometown.Drawing on the rich traditions of Lucille Clifton and Sharon Olds, this expansive collection proudly claims the inheritance of her familys southern roots, while carving out space for Jackson to exist fully without shame. As she writes, when the day calls I will answer to my name / claim it
