A powerful, lyrical exploration of what it means to be lover, wife, daughter and mother. In The Making of Stones, poet Andrea Eames takes us through a journey of such profound intimacy and honesty one can’t help but come away feeling a little stunned.
The Making of Stones begins with an autopsy and ends with a question. In between is all open-eyed, tender terror. Everything is seen and felt and tasted and heard here. Hold your breath, dive in, immerse yourself fully. Become what the poet wants you to become: a lover, undressed and intrepid before her. I dare you. — Jenna Martin Opperman
