A Drop in the
Dry Season
Maggie’s debut chapbook, A Drop in the Dry Season, retrieves and sifts through hopes, impulses, intuitions, moments, and memories that have been thrown on the junk heap. Like the women of countless generations and cultures, these poems take leftover hard soil, ceramic curio bits, and the neighbor’s swimming pool and throw them together to make something that sustains us.
