You Are Not Lost by Jeri Frederickson

“Tight, understated, these poems are sharp shovels that allow the deep digging into complex emotional territory. They surprise and sustain, keeping us delightfully off-balance with their sharp wit and surprising vulnerability. Grow, Pick, Peel, Core—everything in this remarkable collection is that succinct and clear.”

–Jim Daniels, author of Gun/Shy

“You Are Not Lost” is feminist, lyric storytelling. Rich with humor and symbolism, Frederickson’s narratives create a strange intimacy between the speaker and reader. And the strength of her poetic voice is a reminder to all who read that within the roots of ancestral wounds, there is space for growth.”

–Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, Author of Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge
