Special Edition Hardcover, Signed: Refinery by Georgia Pearle Foster

Refinery is a collection of poems, comprised of narrative lyrics from a complex and variegated New South. It follows a young narrator through her father’s murder in the Gulf South oil industry and the subsequent struggle against and eventual emancipation from her stepfather’s abusive legacy. As she grapples with her own personal disasters, she turns to face the disasters around her. A witness to train wrecks and oil spills, a traitor to the racism of the culture that means to claim her, Babygirl means to find a way out. Refinery is a story of survival and the limitations of survival.

This Special Edition Hardcover version of Refinery comes signed by the author, with a limited edition dust jacket, and will ship in December 2022.
