| Summary: | Excerpt: Tattered Boat is both a collection of poems and a book about what poetry should be: buoyant words directed by sharp voices of unexpected confessions, defiance, and transformations. The title of the collection indicates the feeling of being tossed—at once helplessly and dexterously—in the waters of words. Like a fisherman navigating familiar waters, Francia follows the ebb and flow of language, dipping and resurfacing with its waves, while shaping it by deft versification, clever word play, and arresting images. |
