- Summary:
- "An Exodus of Sparks explores how violence reshapes family, geography, and faith. Predominantly set in the high desert, these poems explore the micro-losses of a father (to downwinder-related cancer) and brother against the macro-losses of a geography to nuclear testing, and a tradition of faith to the ravages of grief. Liberally appropriating Judaic symbolism and wedding it to an inherited Mormon vocabulary and iconography, the speaker wrests her own power from her culture's sacred texts to revise her position in sight of patriarchal systems"-- Provided by publisher.
