Raves and Reviews
Carlson's exquisite debut feels like a powerful woman has tossed a life preserver to a broken child flailing in the vast, tempestuous ocean of a brutal past. . . . The way Carlson faces abusive family history, war's mental ravaging, and the search for transformation is courageous, authentic, and inspired.--Booklist
Ground, Wind, This Body follows the crooked river of a family history, from the first fringes of memory where war is a cradle, through poignant songs that document the emotional violence where emerges the translucent beauty of a rainbow after a storm.--Joy Harjo, author of Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings: Poems
