Moth, a book of poems by Associate Professor of Literature and Creative Writing Jane Springer, was recently published by LSU Press.
According to the publisher’s description of the book, the poems — shaped poems, prose poems, and poems with unusual structures — focus on “the role of women in a chaotic world,” examining “serious subjects, including our destruction of the environment, the widening and divisive gulf between socioeconomic classes, and the further injustices thrust upon those already suffering in society.”
“Simultaneously heartbreaking and lighthearted, these masterful poems gracefully delve into the complexities of our lives,” the description concludes.
