Sarah Green’s The Deletions is a spiritual and psychological reckoning with ecological grief, infertility grief, and the loss of a marriage. These poems live at the intersection of ode and elegy, simultaneously observing and reflecting upon multiple kinds of love (friendship, romance, family). With a tone that ranges from poignant to stoic and from playful to irreverent, the speaker sifts through generational layers of divorce, revisiting the violence of teen girlhood and ultimately rediscovering her own resilience.
The Akron Series in Poetry was founded in 1995 to discover and amplify writers who speak in original and compelling voices. Each year, The University of Akron Press offers the Akron Poetry Prize, a competition open to poets writing in English. The winning poet receives $1,500 and publication of their book in the series. The final selection is made by a nationally prominent poet.Author: Sarah Green
