The Inheritance Lands

The Inheritance Lands is Anna Kings third work of poetry. Following her collection Wilderness, which chronicles a familys attempt to establish peace in a conflicted household, The Inheritance Lands traces the final unravelment of a marriage. As the speaker grapples with the post-divorce landscape, she navigates the aftershock of abandonment, her own undiagnosed anxiety, and a traumatized child with a debilitating eating disorder. Set in the hospitals and therapy clinics just as often as a backyard garden and family swimming pools, The Inheritance Lands boldly unfurls the darkness that drives people to self-destruct, and the unfailing power of the Lord to rebuild.
