Burnt Offering
Burnt Offering is Joan Metelerkamp’s seventh collection of poems. Like all of Metelerkamp’s work, these generous poems draw on the details of family and rural life, dreams, landscapes and journeys and weave together, with her distinctive energy and passion.
Joan Metelerkamp is the author of seven books of poems: Towing the Line (1992), Stone No More (1995), Into the day breaking (2000), Floating Islands (2001), Requiem (2003), Carrying the Fire (2005), and Burnt Offering (2009).
“Burnt Offering is compelling reading, it sweeps one away like a riptide does.“
Moira Richards, poet and reviewer
“I loved Joan’s collection which I found at once immediately readable, dazzling, fragile, and formidable. Beautiful journeys into the need to love, to speak, to understand and simultaneously to travel beyond the boundaries that constrain language.”
Stacy Hardy, poet and journalist
