HTML:<b>A wild, seductive debut poetry collection by the author of Red Paint evoking pain, healing, and a spellbinding brew of folklore, movies, music, and ritual.</b><br /> "Draw me encircled / in something / other than gasoline." The poems of <i>Rose Quartz</i> hum with the naked energy of one who has found her way home after a journey rife with difficulty and who has the scars to show for it. In them, Sasha taqwš?blu LaPointe moves from intimate scenes of peril—a car accident, an unwelcome advance at a party, a miscarriage—to the salvific, exhilarating punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and the centering shores of her Coast Salish ancestors. Along the way, she peers into the darker corners of her own search for belonging, and finds there glittering stones dense with meaning and the power to move forward.<br /> As game to follow a beckoning Laura Palmer into the burning woods as she is to step into the shoes of Little Red Riding Hood as she lays waste to her wolf, LaPointe explores the sublime space between beauty and danger through lush, almost baroque, use of folktale and color. Red, white, blue, and an amalgam that is none of the above—rose—vie for the speaker's embrace as a mixed-race woman. Here, poems become offerings, rituals, incantations conjured in the name of healing and power.<br /> Like the stones and cards laid on an altar, <i>Rose Quartz</i> offers a reading at the intersection of identity and myth, trauma and truth, telling the story of past, present, and future.<br /> "LaPointe conveys with dazzling intensity that while our healing is in our own hands, we need not be alone." —<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i>.
