This week, Autumn House Press releases Chelsea Rathburn’s latest collection of poetry, A Raft of Grief, with an intimate celebration at Inman Park’s White Space Gallery. The collection, which was awarded the 2012 Autumn House Poetry Prize, is Rathburn’s first release since 2005’s The Shifting Line. Although I haven’t yet had the pleasure of reading the collection in its entirety, I have grown especially fond of its title poem, which originally appeared in The Atlantic in 2008.
