Cherokee Road Kill

A superb collection of poems rooted in remembering the past, and transcending the confinement imposed by poverty. “A cool and careful eye, unflinching but not editorializing” (Gretchen Primack), “Even ordinary tragedy acquires a certain elegance… Bland’s aesthetic resources render her poems as dimensional as sculpture” (Rain Taxi), “Unique, unsettling, and undeniably memorable” (Blackbird Review).

Cherokee Road Kill is an important book, written by a poet in total command of her powers.
