This Far from Perfect, by Kate Fetherston

In Kate Fetherston’s work we find we are being ushered along the paths of memory and life by a seasoned and talented chaperone. Through the dark and rain, through family and friends, through addiction, life, death, and the slow days of summer, the world we are being invited into is one of hard-won experience. A joy to read, this collection is more than field notes of Fetherston’s life or a mirror placed against our own: it is a needed guide. -Matthew Dickman, author of Wonderland and Mayakovsky’s Revolver
