In Every Seam

In Every Seam is the third book of poems from Allison Joseph, whose previous collections are What Keeps Us Here and Soul Train. Joseph’s poems are vivid recreations of a city girlhood, one full of energy and vitality, sometimes even brutality. Her poems recall all the wonders and terrors of neighborhood bullies, school braggarts, demanding teachers and wary students. Her poems pulse with the rhythms of childhood games and taunts, the song-stories of the streets. These poems document the difficult, sometimes embarrassing, sometimes hilarious passage from girl to woman.
