| Publisher Description: COR series Open Competition winner Finalist, INDIEFAB Book of the Year Lisa Fay Coutley's lyrical debut collection, Errata, investigates the delicate balance between parent and child, love and loss, hope and grief. Errata's narrator reflects on struggles and fears that span generations in compositions that are at once musical and bleak. Coutley's narrative journey is often a dark one, exploring not only the loss of loved ones but also the potential to lose one's very self. The collection unravels the lingering consequences of abuse and addiction, yet threads of hope and determination weave a finely wrought path through the dark side of human relationships, illuminating the power of the will to survive. Coutley's sharp yet tender collection will both haunt readers and move them to reflect, to remember, and most of all, to persevere. |
