Linda Ferguson’s new chapbook, Of the Forest, was the second-place winner of The Poetry Box Annual Chapbook Prize 2021 and is available at Annie Bloom’s Books and The Poetry Box.
A story of three siblings, a spouse, and a surname, Of the Forest weaves poems that hint of danger while also celebrating love… and the sumptuous pleasures of language.
Praise for Of the Forest:
“I fell in love with this narrative and am so invested by the last poem that I swoon with admiration and adoration for the eloquence of the collection.” —Rebecca Smolen, author of Excoriation and Womanhood and Other Scars
