Fishing for Light

The fourth title in the Wings Press Whitebird Chapbook Series. Margaret Randall wrote of this book: Marian Aitches fishes for light in rivers, and rivers run through these poems. She fishes back through family history, dream, certitude, and over the south Texas landscape of her childhood. A poet who can write “A thousand years away, / I will be the bones / some anthropologist holds / up to the light, amazed / by the music they make” will surely have many books beyond this first stunning collection. This is for all readers who want to know “the tough sister, the one / who saved the others.”
