Sarah Carey's second full-length poetry collection traces the arterial pathways of the poet's past, mapping the vital currents that pulse between memory, perception, and identity. Anchored in place yet mindful of time's fluidity, the poems in BLOODSTREAM traverse Carey's Southern roots in Florida and North Carolina, moving through Alaska and beyond as the poet cycles between past and present, faith and doubt, while exploring the power of language to illuminate such contrasts.
