The Wishing Tomb
by
Amanda Auchter (Goodreads Author)
“In these textured, deftly-crafted stanzas, Amanda Auchter romances the grit, the rampant spice, the twang, the mystery, the brick, the swelter, and the insistent hallelujah conjured by the Crescent City. This sparkling, defiant love story pays tribute to NOLA on the upswing, while remembering how often it has teetered on the edge of descent.” —Patricia Smith

The Wishing Tomb by Amanda Auchter is a haunting collection. It is no wonder that this book won the 2012 Perugia Press Prize for Poetry. The narrative of these poems never gives: in this place, New Orleans, LA (NOLA), we are rooted firmly by details of land and water, but also by the details of the people who haunt this place, as well as the resilient spirits who populate the city and keep it alive.
