Melissa Eleftherion Carr: Gutter Rainbows, LOBA Poetry Series at the Ukiah Library

September 21, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Gutter Rainbows by Melissa Eleftherion

Melissa Eleftherion Carr’s 2nd full-length poetry collection, Gutter Rainbows, is now available from Querencia Press.

If you have ever felt like you didn’t belong, this book is for you. Gutter Rainbows is about moving through trauma toward transformation. It’s about growing up in Brooklyn & forming alliances with sidewalks. About being a girl on the verge of something shattering. About the fur. These tender, gritty poems work with the language of rocks and minerals to tell a story of the relationship between women’s bodies and geological trauma, along with the sediment of betrayal that lingers in our foundation. This book is about trusting yourself enough to claw your way out.

You can order Gutter Rainbows from Querencia, add Gutter Rainbows to your To-Read shelf at Goodreads, leave a review on Amazon, every little bit helps a poet out!
