Landlock X: Poems Audsley Sarah
Sarah Audsley's debut poetry collection, Landlock X, joins a growing body of adoptee poetics. Employing a variety of poetic forms, co-opting the pastoral tradition to argue for belonging to the rural landscape--despite the inheritance of displacement and removal from a country of origin--Landlock X tries to solve for all of the (adoptee's) variables and knows it is an impossible task that the "I", "you", and "we" of the poems only approximate. By examining the consequences of the international transracial adoptee experience--her own--Audsley's collection finds more questions than solid answers.
