Emily Franklin's Tell Me How You Got Here is rich with the objects of this world-a stray sneaker on the highway, a garage-sale skillet, "damp frogs small as grapes"-ordinary things and situations revealed as extraordinary, thanks to her original vision and precise language. That most overworked and least understood muscle, the human heart, is the great filter through which these objects pass and accrue their startling beauty. At the end of the book, Franklin returns us to the world, and returns the world to us, redeemed. What more could we ask for from poetry? -Beth Ann Fennelly, Poet Laureate of Mississippi, 2016-2020

Emily Franklin is the author of more than sixteen young adult books including The Half-Life of Planets (nominated for YALSA's Best Book of the Year) and Tessa Masterson Will Go to Prom (named to the 2013 Rainbow List). A former chef, she wrote the cookbook-memoir Too Many Cooks: Kitchen Adventures with 1 Mom, 4 Kids, and 102 New Recipes to chronicle a year of new foods, family meals, hilarity and heartache around the table. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, The Cincinnati Review, Shenandoah, New Ohio Review, Blackbird, The Rumpus, and The Chattahoochee Review. She lives with her husband and four kids outside of Boston, Massachusetts. This is her debut poetry collection.
