Eggtooth - Paperback events and perseverance through beautiful watercolor

and perseverance through beautiful watercolor illustrations and an engaging story

Darkly evocative and relentless in its twists and turns it dares the reader to put it down--even for a minute

For von der Heyden his own regret was particularly acute with the knowledge that his father had been a member of the Nazi Party

Eggtooth - Paperback events and perseverance through beautiful watercolorIn this debut collection, Jesse Nathan matches an exquisite feeling for the music of lines and sentences with his profound explorations of the idea of home. The book's title comes from the word for a bit of cartilage on a baby bird's beak, a growth that helps it break out of the egg. Shortly after the bird hatches, the tooth disappears. Like an eggtooth, Nathan's poems are often figures for birth, for the violence of birth and, in his case, rebirth.
