They Stand Up in Broken Shells
Literature: American Poetry/ Women’s Studies
$15.00
First full length book by Nita Penfold whose work has appeared in over 40 anthologies and numerous small press magazines. She identifies the poetry in a contemporary woman's life through relationships and passages, digging deep for the taste of the grit and honey in everyday life.
Nita Penfold’s collection of poems is like a Northern Light, making a bleak cold sky come alight. As a literary critic and poet, I spend much time studying that elusive Voice every real poet must find and embody, a Voice deeply contextual yet for that very reason speaking out of every time and space. This work is an incarnation of that Voice: real and true and incisive, modeling a truthful way of being in the world that most humans cannot even imagine.

Poetry, American Literature $18.00 In this book of Nita Penfold's soulful and intrepid poetry, we find a contiguous series of luscious moments, inching us toward some greater light; here familiar or familial, there abstract. But more than that, in the germ of her impartial reverence for nature, we find answers that acknowledge then challenge grief - that venture beyond reason— toward genuine, legitimate joy.

Her first full-length book, They Stand Up in Broken Shells, earned her the 2006 Writer’s Digest International Self-Published Poetry Book Award.
