Margaret Ross' poetry has the vivid characterizations and scenic quality of stories, but with another more mysterious quality that is disturbing and ineffably moving.\" --Mary Gaitskill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Ross' highly anticipated second collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eSaturday\u003c\/i\u003e, chronicles a brute education in love and decorum through ceremony starter kits, basement classrooms and a mission school turned art camp, seeking to \"touch the myth beneath the fiction.\" Dexterous and musical, Ross writes stunning lines with unmistakable precision. These poems accrue from fleeting details, think in images and resist simplifying the nature of feeling. In emotionally raw scenes, \u003ci\u003eSaturday\u003c\/i\u003e explores various forms of intimacy and estrangement in unforgettable ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Ross\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of one previous collection, \u003ci\u003eA Timeshare\u003c\/i\u003e (Omnidawn, 2015).
