- Summary:
- "The Rusted City, a hybrid collection of linked prose and lineated poems depicting the disintegration of a family in a surreal wasteland. Told through the experiences of the smallest sister, this coming-of-age fable is set in the haunting dreamscape of the rust belt, where industrial corrosion becomes a funhouse mirror of personal loss and degradation. In images of urban ruin both dark and whimsical, the communal loss of a destroyed city parallels the loss of innocence. At once speculative and documentary, it is a story about the nature of decay in the aftermath of abuse and betrayal."--Publisher's website.
