Inhaltsangabe

This is a book of stories as much as a collection of poems. In it, the characters swerve between the rain-drenched, tree-lined, concrete plains of Houston and the voluptuous, dynamic terrain of Los Angeles. They face multiple realities, and though they’re earnestly grounded, they sometimes swim in the waters of magic realism. Their story is both relatable and a little bit surreal. 

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE SHARP EDGES OF WATER: 

“For Jamail, loss is the fecund territory complicated by the travails of geographic movement, emotional upheaval, and cultural dissonance and where the poetry sings its best.”
-- Sarah Cortez, Vanishing Points: Poems and Photographs of Texas Roadside Memorials (editor and contributor)

“The Sharp Edges of Water is a collection of superbly crafted poems…poems of faith and freeways, of lies and longing. Angélique sees the details of Los Angeles and love, with a necessity of details we locals have forgotten. As the title implies, you might get wet reading them. Wear appropriate clothing.”
-- Rick Lupert, author of Beautiful Mistakes and God Wrestler, creator of www.PoetrySuperHighway.com

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Angélique Jamail is a ninja-like cryptid: you don't notice how weird she is at first until it's too late and you're already ensorcelled. She can usually be found under a disco ball, mollifying her teaching assistant (a dog-like feline who lives on her desk) with New Wave music, and eating All The Chocolate. Proceed with caution, but definitely buy her books and take her classes. You know you want to.
