Description

Calvary is a series of short poems that take the form of prayers and exhortations. Poems on how to navigate the world of grief, body dysmorphia, gender-based violence, and alienation with a faith overwhelmingly in crisis. Julia Smith's debut is at times lyrical, oft sermon-like, yet always tells the story of a pilgrimage that harbingers hope but inadvertently ends in a sense of permanent loss burdened with an immitigable desire to live, of recurring Calvary without resurrection. What other poets have said about Calvary: 'Fragile and translucent, these are poems half-woken from sleep at an unidentifiable time of night. Smith blends the domestic with the ghostly question-state of dreams and the grand terminology of religion, reidentifies childhood protectors as predators, brings violence inside comfort. This cutting debut paints a scene of grief and isolation in a modern urban world.' - Anna Rose James, co-author of Untitled 'Tender and stark, these poems traverse a yearning both poignant and severe. Their richly textured rhythms and startling imagery open onto an intimate reckoning, the relentless imperative of a "personal Calvary". In this compelling collection, Julia Smith rends poetry into prayer.' - Shelly Harder, author of Intimology
