POETRY
The Daughter of a Lumberjack
Melanie Merasty
Merasty’s collection of poems calmly remembers a
world of chainsaws and cracked branches by using
only the tools her grandfather and father used as
lumberjacks: wood (a section of unfinished poplar acts
as the book’s circular casing), a chain-saw, oil, and
recipe-style cards. Coptic bound using Norton medium
grade sandpaper in an edition of 75. 20 pages.
