How to Break My Neck

How to Break My Neck

The poems in the second edition of Jessica Walsh's HOW TO BREAK MY NECK are palpable. With tales of mortality, morality, womanhood, and breaths of life often unnoticed or taken for granted, Walsh transfigures words into strokes of paint that blend into a zenful yet heart-wrenching portrait of the world women live in. With new poems not previously seen in the first edition, HOW TO BREAK MY NECK is not only beautiful and mournful, but new, fresh, breathing, and very much alive. JESSICA L. WALSH is the author of two collections of poetry, How to Break My Neck and Banished, as well as two chapbooks. Her poetry has been nominated for the Pushcart, Bettering the Net, Best New Poets, and more. Poems can be found in Tinderbox, Sundog, Rogue Agent, White Stag, Midwestern Gothic, and more. She lives in suburban Chicago and teaches at a community college.
