“In Restalrig, Julia Wendell explores in wonderfully imaginative ways one of the most ancient subjects in poetry; the death of parents. But in exploring the deaths of her parents, she also — how could it be otherwise — explores and celebrates their lives. These poems contain great sadness, but at the same time they are exhilarating: unarguable love is at their heart. The voice that speaks them is beguiling, funny, wise, and above all, courageous.”

Restalrig

by Julia Wendell

$14, paper

Julia Wendell was born the year Ginsberg wrote Howl. Twelve moons ring her Jupiter. One is named Poetry. Another, Horse. Two are named for her children, and one for her husband, Barrett Warner. There’s the moon of the Alleghenies, where she grew up, and moons for her teachers: Norman Dubie at Arizona, Larry Levis at the Iowa Writers Workshop, and Helen Vendler at Boston University. Her undergraduate moon is Cornell University, where she studied literature and music. There’s even a moon called Piano that swings across her widening sky.
