Amy Riddell

Bullets in the Jewelry Box Amy Riddell

In her first full-length volume of poetry, Amy Riddell has given us a true crime story, that of her Bluebeard-like father who went to prison for trying to murder his wife. From her attempts to understand her father?s odd brutalities (and love) to her own hard-won transcendence later in life, these poems offer tacit touchstones to healing what is wounded in all of us.
