520    Winner of the 2020 Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, The Clearing is
       "a lush, lyrical book about a world where women are meant 
       to carry things to safety and men leave decisively."   
       Luminous and electric from the first line to the last, 
       Allison Adair's debut collection navigates the ever-
       shifting poles of violence and vulnerability with a 
       singular incisiveness and a rich imagination. The women in
       these poems live in places that have been excavated for 
       gold and precious ores, and they understand the nature of 
       being hollowed out. From the midst of the Civil War to our
       current era, Adair charts fairy tales that are painfully 
       familiar, never forgetting that cruelty compels us to 
       search for tenderness. Here we wonder, "What if this time 
       instead of crumbs the girl drops / teeth, her own, what 
       else does she have"?  The Clearing knows the dirt beneath 
       our nails, both alone and as a country, and pries it 
       gently loose until we remember something of who we are, 
       "from before...from a similar injury or kiss."  There is a
       dark beauty in this work, and Adair is a skilled 
       stenographer of the silences around which we orbit. 
       Described by Henri Cole as "haunting and dirt caked," her 
       unromantic poems of girlhood, nature, and family linger 
       with an uncommon, unsettling resonance.
