WRITER’S SHACK
Jarita Davis is something of a shapeshifter. One moment she is a young man on a Nantucket Sleighride, the next she is an old woman harvesting cranberries by hand, always she is a poet who slips into other skins and takes us along with her. Jarita relies on the universal languages of emotions and senses to engage us, but she is also very specific, focusing on one place, one moment, one truth at a time to teach, illuminate, and honor what’s important. Her poems are like keyholes: well-defined passages to bigger spaces where we can slow down, look around, spend time, and learn something. —Lauren Wolk
