Find the Girl Lightsey Darst First edition

"Find the Girl is a book of poems as urgent as its title. . . . Here we have an important new poetic voice, one that fully earns Louis Zukofsky's observation that, in poetry, ?The story must exist in each word or it cannot go on.???Laura Kasischke, author of The Life Before Her Eyes

From Snow White to the Yde Girl and Helen of Troy to JonBenét, this lurid and lyrical debut explores the transition from girlhood to womanhood and America?s almost pornographic fascination with missing and exploited children.
