Neuware - In this manuscript, Kailey Giordano traces desire and trauma through the aftermath of domestic violence, inhabiting the quiet, untranslatable aloneness that lingers in its wake. Persephone, Iphigenia, Andromache, and the vixen move through the pages, carrying old stories into new wounds, exploring how grief, an unravelling self, and longing persist even in abusive, life-threatening relationships, and asking whether these can coexist with motherhood or life in the world. In these poems, Giordano tries to gather what has been shattered into something whole enough to hold, using myth and art to witness suffering and to carve beauty from what cannot be fully healed.Advance Praise for Waiting in the Stone: Jeffrey Levine, Publisher & Artistic Director of Tupelo Press: Waiting in the Stone undertakes a patient lyric excavation of desire, myth, and survival.

But to say that Giordano is merely able to transition effortlessly between lyric fragments and triptychs, poem sequences, and fieldnotes would be to underestimate her powers as a writer. She is a gifted storyteller who places stylistic innovation in service of emotional resilience, ultimately creating a powerful experience for the reader. Bravissima.…
