The Dark Mothers, by award-winning poet Michael Jennings, is the fourth in a series of extraordinary collections of poetry -- including Summoning the Outlaws , Where She Dances , and The Moon's Children -- that constitute what Jennings describes as the last of a quartet of books that provide a rounding out, a sense of closure, of his prolific and brilliant poetic career.

Michael Jennings is the author of 12 previous collections of poetry, among them Crossings: A Record of Travel, winner of the 2016 Central New York Book Award for Poetry, and River Time , winner of the 2014 Wells College Chapbook Contest. He is also the 2017 winner of the Miller Audio Award for Poetry.
