Description
In her debut poetry collection, Julie Hartley has captured the lived experience of a life in motion-a travelogue that moves in rhythmic language from a childhood in England through restless travels around the globe. Hartley is a poet who can say, "You'll never know if there are others / picking your route through this dark." Whether that route moves, like hers, through Greece, Peru, or China, or navigates the experience of motherhood and cultural differences, Deboning the Dragon attests to the probability that shared experience can provide a bridge to span otherness. Hartley is a passionate observer, leaving her own signposts along the way.
