Jacklight by Louise Erdrich is a collection of very fine poems divided into four sequences, Runaways, Hunters, The Butcherâs Wife, and Myths, each of which delves into different aspects of experience. As the blurb notes, the poems bring to life what it is to be a woman, a Midwesterner, and a Native American.
