Check out an excerpt, press release, and ordering information here. Maureen Thorson's first full-length book is a necessary satellite signal made of a uniquely singular ache and echo. She deftly performs a precise dissection of heartbreak's timeless ability to blow open the universe of our lives and allow our fascinating agonies to burst into being. Applies to Oranges is a collection that is, at once, a mythic tale of loss and a microscopic look into the delicate beauty of broken things. These wonderful poems demand that you linger in their haunting world, and as Thorson says, 'breathe slowly, if at all.' — Ada Limón (author of The Carrying) https://www.maureenthorson.com/on-dreams daily 0.75 2023-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617ef593cb37127745c4dd26/9808da1b-4ca2-4a69-89ab-fcd0cc79a5e5/Ondreams.png
