Description

In this collection of poems, Molly Beth Griffin approaches simple, everyday experiences with a sense of awe that gives them weight. That determination to find hope and beauty is then unleashed upon the larger issues of our time. In this way, she tackles both intimate and societal struggles in this collection, returning always to an honoring of the connections between people, creatures, and the natural world. Poems about parenting nestle in beside poems about politics, and both internal and external dramas, personal and public stories, are handled with the same deep reverence for life.

Reviews

Molly Beth Griffin's poems contain a quiet wildness, an introvert's furious remapping of the world she sees. Vivid and striking, All the Hollow Places carries the reader through rough beginnings and bittersweet endings: here are poems to a giraffe savior, a hollow tree, the mess of a monarch before the sun has dried its wings. Your heart will grow when you read these beautiful poems.

Bao Phi, award winning author of the poetry collections Sông I Sing and Thousand Star Hotel.

In compelling ways, Molly Beth Griffin's new collection teaches us to see meaning and value in the small objects and moments. She shows us that in taking care of these small things we counteract the weight and sorrow we acknowledge in the big world. All the Hollow Places has poems that respond to poems from her previous collection, Under Our Feet, yet it stands alone--in these new poems the poet sees the world clearly: its bounty, its struggles, and its beauty.

Deborah Keenan, author of ten collections of poetry, most recently, so she had the world, and a book of writing ideas, from tiger to prayer.
