Scar Girl by Maureen Sherbondy

$14.00

 

Sútra is a Sanskrit word that literally means thread. From its opening poem, Sútra, Maureen Sherbondy’s Scar Girl threads together a cautionary tale of a girl, scarred from life in a dysfunctional house, yet reaching for stars just out of reach. There is a clever stirring of Jack and Jill from nursery rhyme in a couple of poems, an appearance by King Kong in another, and a giant who annually tramples through her summer garden. Maureen Sherbondy masterfully stitches together poems that employ metaphor and image to set up superb endings.

–Barry Harris, Editor Tipton Poetry Journal

 

Scar Girl was named a finalist in the poetry category of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The book was published by Finishing Line Press.
