Midden - (Poets Out Loud) by Julia Bouwsma (Paperback)

Midden is a powerful and moving collection of poems that delves into the tragic history of the Malaga Island community in Maine.

Through a range of innovative and effective styles, including epistolary poems to ghosts, persona poems, erasure poems, interior poems, interviews, and instructions, Midden confronts the events and aftermath of the forced eviction of the island's residents in 1912.

The book is a testament to the resilience and strength of those who were affected by this injustice, and a powerful reminder of the importance of acknowledging and healing the generational wounds of the past.

With its unique blend of poetry and history, Midden is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, cultural heritage, and the power of language to shape our understanding of the world around us.
