Miranda Pearson

Rail (September 30,2019)

"Miranda Pearson explores the deep fabric of our lives, of motherhood and daughterhood and friendships, the pull of away and the call of home. She has an excellent ear; her vivacious poems abound with original imagery; they are crisp, attentive, neatly judged. Here is a woman's voice at the top of her talent."

-Kathleen Jamie, author of Sightlines and The Overhaul

"This is as good a book of poetry as I've read in a long time. Constant throughout is a voice of inquiry and defiance. Like the fox that Pearson conjures so skilfully, these poems move through our imagination but silent, silent answering the dark. The poems in Miranda Pearson's latest collection call us awake."

"Testing human connection across spans of time and space, Rail is a haunted collection, full of gratitude to friends and lovers, or - especially addressing her mother's stroke - tenderness. Pearson can get away with being arch, political, and in poems condemning those who abuse power and love wealth, her indictment is sharp as lemon in a paper cut … These contradictory poems are simultaneously appalled by and in love with materiality and humanity, but conclude 'there's always beauty / despite our despair.'"

-Jen Hadfield, author of Nigh-No-Place and Almanacs
