Into the Fold (Paperback)

"Into the Fold" charts the body's landscape; it maps longing while exploring how the triple pull of the domestic, erotic, and geographic are enacted in a woman's life. Part narrative, part travel log, pure poetry, Turner's debut collection examines the poetics of the fold-the space between conflicting desires-and interrogates and reconstructs traces of memory from out of a shifting past. The compression of her language erupts with fleeting images of growing up in a trailer beside the railroad tracks, raising boys in minivans, and the way lips feel against the back of your neck. Startlingly honest, intense, and unnerving, Into the Fold drives and dislocates its readers, ultimately questioning everyone's place in the world.
