- Summary:
- Wary and watchful, never resigned, Flutter, Kick maps the spaces for tenderness we carve in a dangerous world.
- "Anna V. Q. Ross plumbs motherhood, migration, and childhood and the cycles of violence and renewal that recur in each. These are poems of math homework and police siren, where a fox pops out of a fairy tale to dig up the back yard, NPR News spirals the evening carpool into memories of girlhood and trauma, and a city gas leak conjures xenophobic backlash against refugees. In poems of reclamation and warning, Flutter, Kick brings us to the center of our world-a place where "in those days, we were fast and best, but didn't know it"-with a compassion learned of anger, memory, and joy"-- Provided by publisher.
