Mustard, Milk, and Gin, a debut poetry collection by Megan Denton Ray, follows identical twin sisters in the wake of their parents' addiction in an unblinking and beautifully wrought vision of the opioid crisis in the American South and the poet's growth toward understanding.
I had an eARC of this poetry collection from Hub City Press through Edelweiss and it came out March 10. Put this on your list for poetry month! ⤵️
