Works

Startling
The poems of Startling, Andrea Selch’s first full-length collection of poems, do just that: startle the reader into a new awareness of the passages of life. Weaving a tapestry that spans from the birth of a child to death from illness, Selch renders her subjects with both wit and wonder.

Succory
Politics gets personal in Andrea Selch’s Succory, a volume spanning decades of memory and continents of care. In ten lyric poems and two longer sequences, humor and pain are doled out in equal doses.

Boy Returning Water to the Sea: Koans for Kelly Fearing
Fourteen poems that echo, explore, and engage with Kelly Fearing’s spiritual realist paintings.
