Qarrtsiluni contributor Alice George’s first poetry collection, This Must Be the Place, is now available from Mayapple Press (and also at Amazon). As the publisher’s website puts it,
Alice George’s poems meet the threats of everyday life with a lifted chin, a jaundiced eye and a sense of humor. Exploring materials from folklore and fairy tales, politics and science within the matrix of her clear lyric, she invites us into an imaginative world of unusual range and immediacy.
Amazon.com has a blurb from Maureen Seaton:
In This Must Be the Place, Alice George has packaged her beguiling ubiquitous mind in impeccably wrought, imaginatively conceived, stunning lyric narratives—collages, prose, lively couplets, and series within series. Through everything wonderful—the political, familial, and fantastic—she gives us her steady, settling voice. What a holiday! I adore this book!
