Title: Winter Stranger Author: Jackson Holbert Narrator: Jackson Holbert Format: mp3 Length: 40 mins Release date: 07-18-23 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Themes & Styles Publisher's Summary: In the cold seminal countryside of eastern Washington, a boy puts a bullet through his skull in a high school parking lot. An uncle crushes oxycodone into “a thousand red granules.” Hawks wheel above a dark, indifferent river. “I left that town / forever,” Holbert writes, but its bruises appear everywhere, in dreams of violent men and small stars, the ghosts of friends and pills. These poems incite a complex emotional discourse on what it means to leave—if it’s ever actually possible, or if our roots only grow longer to accommodate the distance.
