Harbinger Jackie Sherbow

"Harbinger" is a book of contemporary poetry invoking images and themes from history (such as the Salem witch trials), pop culture (from Seventeen Magazine to the Sopranos), the urban and natural world (from New England to Queens, NY, to southern California), and the domestic realm (the kitchens and dirty floors we all inhabit). These poems--one of which has been nominated for Best of the Net 2019--explore mental health, feminine roles, and the power of fear and how fear can germinate in the everyday. "Goldfinch," the book's opening poem, was nominated for Best of the Net 2019.
