The Wynona Stone Poems 1.º edición

Meet Wynona Stone. She's on track to lose her job, she doesn't love the weatherman she's sleeping with, and everything she tries (cosmetology, astrology) falls short. So she stays home making models, watching soaps, and staring down "doubt, a storm that's never not approaching." 

If long-dead poet E. A. Robinson and Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell had collaborated to depict a contemporary Southern woman in verse, they just might have come up with Wynona Stone, Caki Wilkinson's sort-of heroine, who is stuck in the hometown she always meant to leave, faced with a life that seems desperately mediocre. Wilkinson follows in the footsteps of Eliot and Berryman, giving us, in winsome poems, a figure at odds with herself and her surroundings.
