A Taste of Salt Mary Katherine Wainwright

Mary Katherine Wainwright's poems, like the taste of salt, are at once familiar and strange. They collect themselves like photographs in a family album. Inside this poetry collection are snapshots of travel adventures from New York to Italy, France, and Spain yet always returning to family memories of growing up in North Florida. A feminine presence presides over these poems-a woman listening to her own life and the lives of those she meets along the way, confronting the palpable presence of absence, memory and loss, and the sugar and salt of our deepest longings.
