| Summary: | The Flaws in the Story is the latest collection from Liane Strauss, and winner of the 2023 Marsh Hawk Press First Prize in Poetry. The epigraph is taken from Odyssey, Book II, and shows us Penelope stalling her suitors. ‘Day by day she would weave at the great web, but at night would unravel it. Strauss’s ellipsis reminds us, perhaps, that life is a breaking-off, a lapse in attention. Every day anew, we strap in, hoping to be seduced by the story, and that we are willing to recommit to this hope, day after day, is an article of faith. |
