Description
"Amy is interrupted in the head
like a firm thumb through a supple apple's bruise
winters witch, our Saint Salish the loudest howler
specializes in alchemic thaumaturgy
and conjures among scarlet skies
the banshee battle calls and the rattling chains of snarling dogs
with bone bright teeth and bloody jaws. . ."
In her poignant 2023 memoir, Amy Ronhaar took us on an exceptional journey through her grieving daughterhood and continuous search into understanding the deeply interesting and complex pathology of mental disorder and rage.
Openly regarded as harboring unrelenting fury, her simply profound poetic work From the Dogs Jaws containing only six specially selected poems is a fervent reflection into the deep ongoing fabric of the author's artful madness and phenomenally unbound spirit.
