In the Low Houses

Alabaster Leaves Publishing
76 pages
$14


“In speech that whispers so close to the ear, it is as if we have been acquainted with its texture and timbre since time memorial. Here is poetry of immense personal and social vision, highlighting the mystical aspects of human tenderness, love, longing, regret, and grief as observed in broken as well as whole relationships, and indeed, in the very earth we walk upon. It is such frailty and awareness that most enlivens Dobbins’s poetry.”

–Major Jackson, author, Holding Company
