Books by Ava Leavell Haymon

In The Grace of Distance, his poignant, far-traveling new collection of poems, Matthew Thorburn explores the ways in which we try to close the distances we experience in modern life, between doubt and faith, between cultures, between ourselves and those we love.

Katie Bickham's dazzling collection resounds with the intensity of new motherhood and confronts the relationship between mothers and their children, as she explores what it means to carry a child. Moving from the mid-1800s to 2017, these finely wrought poems grapple with how war, violence, and enslavement can disrupt our innocence.
