Out of Nowhere: New and Selected Poems

The first comprehensive poetry collection by award-winning Kentucky writer and poet Mary Ann Taylor-Hall Selected and arranged by the author, the poems in Out of Nowhere unfold as a luminous narrative of the poet's life, moving through seasons of experience--from the first stirrings of childhood consciousness to present-day meditations on loss and grief--with candor, clarity, and startling tenderness. She opens to the reader the intimate landscape of her life in rural Kentucky, which she connects directly to the immensities and astonishing mysteries of the universe that come smashing through even our most ordinary days.
