Description
-Sam Jowett, Author of Self
Charles K. Carter's heartfelt collection, Splinters, offers readers poignant glimpses of the intersections between the natural world and the human experience. Invoking a wide array of poetic traditions, Carter introduces readers to "the bright ones," then turns his eye to "that radio signal of hate." In spending time with this raw, accessible collection, readers will begin to learn "what hope for us there is left." Pulsing with love, loss, and hard-won joy, these poems are both "power and warning" an exploration of what splinters us, and how we can rebuild.
-Gaia Rajan, Author of Moth Funerals

Exploring themes such as intimacy, sexuality, family, and identity, Carter takes the reader through a hurricane of emotion. Relating weather events to daily events, Splinters offers a magnifying glass to examine how we interact with the world, and how the world interacts with us.
