Bøger af Cat Dixon

What happens in Nebraska? Follow Cat Dixon's journey across the state as she explores misconnections, unrequited love, and longing. Dixon believes what happens in Nebraska doesn't stay in Nebraska; instead, her poems wade into the Missouri River and then launch readers into the clouds above, the ancient stars light years away, and eventually they plummet to the heartland's cornfields where the distance between people is simultaneously vast and fleeting.

People expect that their lives move in majestic sweeps, but that's only because memory and legend work that way, but reality works in the small moments of our experience. Too Heavy to Carry explores those moments by focusing in close. This wonderful collection aims to name the evils that people live through: loneliness, betrayal, inadequacy, and loss.
