The Elephant Trials
Honestly, vibrantly, sometimes with tenderness, and sometimes with brutality, Dolores Harrell transports readers through an array of vulnerable, life-changing moments of truth and how the ever-present past -- for better or worse -- shapes us.
In The Elephant Trials, Dolores challenges us to imagine what it is to travel in another's shoes using her powerful, multi-faceted voice. From the frailty of childhood, to the intersections and displacements of our differences, to wrestling with death -- Dolores artfully celebrates the strength of the human spirit and its survival in this moving collection of contemporary poetry.
