Nicole Tallman's third book, FERSACE, is a refreshing, fun, and honest handling of hard topics--death, daughterhood, childhood, mental health, displacement, queerdom, work, aging, and other crucial life challenges. In this Michigan-meets-Miami collection, Tallman adjusts to the changing world around her, seeking solace in conversations with the dead and living (including herself), and in new life experiences. With poems arranged in sections inspired by the four seasons she's lost in her move from Michigan to Miami, Tallman grapples with nostalgia and memory, while learning to embrace her new identity as gringa and her new home that both baffles and entertains. This book is a journey with an ultimate destination that leads to truth, love, and acceptance.
