A COLLECTION OF POETRY THAT DELVES DEEP INTO PERSONAL MYTHOLOGY, WOMANHOOD, AND THE JUXTAPOSITION OF INNER POWER AND LONGING FOR CONNECTION.
In Situ immerses readers in the personal mythology of poet Samantha Cramer as she grapples with issues of what it means to be a woman rooted in herself. These poems speak of the archaeology of the psyche, the strata of emotions inside all of us, and the ache to be fully seen. In Situ is by turns visceral and yearning, tender and raw; examining hungers of all kinds. Written as a personal examination of the inner self, the echoes of this collection will remain with readers long after the book is closed.
