DESCRIPTION:
Music is often her subject, and music constitutes her method: the music of storytelling, of pain and joy, of continual discovery and insight. With a sureness of touch and an economy of means, she gifts us, again and again, with stunning poems. This is a truly remarkable first collection." --David Young, author of Field of Light and Shadow and Black Lab.

Ms. Rogers poems deliver a beautiful message with sounds simple and exotic evoking mood and place with gentle power leading the reader to hear with their eyes, but for full effect read these verses out loud.
Part narrative and part lyric, Rogers's poems make use of the whole field of the page, assembling an innovative poetic vocabulary that includes word, character, and symbol. Chord Box is exquisitely crafted and rich with feeling, a dazzling debut collection. In her first book, Chord Box, Elizabeth Lindsey Rogers envisions a world where each place is best known by its sound. Weaving complex junctions between music, speech, the body, and sexuality, these poems trace the arc of adolescence and early adulthood, rooting themselves in gritty landscapes of the South and Appalachia, China and its borderlands.
