Happy release day to the very wonderful Jen Karetnick! You can now purchase her poetry collection, American Sentencing, wherever books are sold.
An intense examination of the physical body and the various indignities and ailments from which it can suffer, American Sentencing is a paean to the spirit that endures. Whether with complaint, acceptance, or just a nod toward dark humor, this collection turns on the fine points of grief and laughter, and balances respectfully on the same line as those who suffer.
