The Empty Season

by Catherine Bresner

Catherine Bresner’s the empty season is an exquisite collection that comprises poetry, collage, illustration, and song. Her poems boldly challenge the ways that we as readers understand mental illness, femininity, cultural artifacts, and identity. Snarky, bawdy, and tender, Bresner’s hybrid poetry collection is a starling first book.
