Burning My Birth Certificate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780912592817)

Poetry. Winner of the 2016 Richard Snyder Prize in Poetry, judged by Andrew Hudgins. In 'Night Mowing, ' Sutton says, 'I smell / like sweat and blood and metal, ' and so do her piercing poems. All those disparate aspects of herself grieve for American wrongs and the wrongs of history, as well as the more intimate depredations life itself inflicts on those we love and on our own bodies. BURNING MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE is a passionate investigation of the responsibilities of anguish and the consolations of the inconsolable.--Andrew Hudgi
