In Sarah Riggs’ The Nerve Epistle friendship and family travel through a void of separation with a wake of streaking light. Her poems, each written to a friend or loved one, invoke the connection between two people who stand facing some of life’s most trying moments, finding solace in their shared words. The natural world serves as a muse and an emotional backdrop. Each epistle works in tandem with an immersive picture of poetic relationships built on love, time, understanding, and mutual concern. “The end of life: what is it / The light diagonal, the tops of trees / Turning in a forest, these words / Holding us together, not to feel alone”
Sarah Riggs is the author of six previous books of poetry. Her essays were published as Word Sightings. She has translated six poetry books from French including the prize-winning TIME by Etel Adnan. She is also a filmmaker, artist, and podcaster of “Invitation to the Species.” She lives in Brooklyn with her husband Omar Berrada and their two daughters.
