Relief
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2027
Winner of the Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry, selected by Diane Seuss, Relief by Victoria Kornick is a genre-bending collection of female friendship & desire
Relief by Victoria Kornick chronicles the relationship between the speaker, a printmaker, and her best friend, Eileen, from early wounds to later betrayals. After a devastating childhood accident for which the printmaker feels she is to blame, the two friends grow into an adult dynamic marked by the speaker’s longstanding guilt and Eileen’s tragic, reckless, sometimes manipulative, charm. But when the beloved “you” of the collection wavers in affection between the two women, the friendship, and shared sense of self, fractures. Reversals, repetition, and the language of the print studio shape the collection, as the speaker navigates the mirroring of a girlhood friendship and the impressions left by desire.
