A highly anticipated full-collection debut from a remarkably talented poet. "Exuberantly raw and playful, Samantha Waltons first collection Self Heal engages passionately with questions of identity, consumerism, gender, and humanitys relationship to the natural environment. To self-heal means to live amid a dizzying array of worldly demands, requiring all the abundance of humor, compassion, and intelligence this debut has to offer."
Carrie Etter writes, "Here it is, the long-awaited collection by Samantha Walton! Self Heal is infused with passion and politics -- you could say that the poems are love poems, but unlike any you've read. With exhilarating wit, Walton declares the exchanges, vital or aggrieved, between the living stuff of the world: 'the swabbed mystery of the connection/ between your body & the gross/ understatement of your environment. These brilliant, acutely beautiful, deliciously mordant poems will tendril their way into your psyche."
Lila Matsumoto adds, "You can open up your head and rub these poems on your brain when you want to feel better about the wreck: they're 'heal' poems, as the title says: Samantha Waltons Self Heal opens to what blows between working streets and windy sky: 'under the scolded / boots of the Poor Law / press the kissed field' and out comes love 'to rub a mind across a meadow' in the company of saucy language bodies saying 'call me / x'."
Lisa Samuels, author of Symphony for Human Transport and Foreign Native, also praises the collection, stating, "Self Heal is a triumph of wit and vision. Waltons poems are a wild ride through the heart and mind, a journey that is both exhilarating and deeply moving. With her sharp wit and keen insight, Walton explores the complexities of identity, consumerism, and our relationship to the natural world. This debut collection is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry that is both smart and accessible."
