To enter Julie Hensley's Viable is not to step but to plunge. . . With Hensley's guide, we travel through deftly rendered landscapes of the Great Plains and the rural South. We study the language of horses and historical figures. We probe marriage, miscarriage, childbirth, and child-rearing, "the things people plant to anchor themselves/ beneath so much sky." We hear our own fears and wants echoing back to us from the deeply human center of this book. —Julie Marie Wade, author of Postage Due: Poems & Prose Poems and When I Was Straight: Poems In the rich and vivid poems of Viable, Julie Hensley rings the changes of a girl child’s life, from riding stick-horses in her yard in Big Stone Gap to sexual discovery after sixteen summers, to homesickness in her first apartment, then to love, marriage and, motherhood. The path may be familiar, but none of it is simple, and there are sharp turns of grief and reckoning along the way. Rooted in the natural world—mountain, desert, prairie, seashore—and seeing herself as a creature among creatures, Hensley offers us words of life in all its uncertainty, knowing that “Creation is still a gift/ a yolk bobbing uncertainly/ inside a fragile shell.” —George Ella Lyon (Kentucky Poet Laureate 2015-2016), author of Many-Storied House In Viable, Julie Hensley has woven a beautifully contemplated life, as the speaker becomes daughter, woman, writer, lover, mother, and branches outward into the voices of historical women who share the pain only mothers can. Sensual, intuitively musical, and incredibly observant, these poems turn a perceptive lens on the natural world and uncover a spiritual interconnectedness. Hensley’s poems reveal how life crashes into us and through us, how at times we feel lifted by this storm, and at others we feel like we may be going under, or perhaps sometimes both, such as when the speaker after staying up all night with a sobbing child notices the “sun slow / through the kitchen window: / a wafer / dissolving into morning.” —Matt Rasmussen, Black Aperture, Winner of the Walt Whitman Award

Review In Viable, Julie Hensley has woven a beautifully contemplated life, as the speaker becomes daughter, woman, writer, lover, mother, and branches outward into the voices of historical women who share the pain only mothers can. Sensual, intuitively musical, and incredibly observant, these poems turn a perceptive lens on the natural world and uncover a spiritual interconnectedness. Hensley's poems reveal how life crashes into us and through us, how at times we feel lifted by this storm, and at others we feel like we may be going under, or perhaps sometimes both, such as when the speaker after staying up all night with a sobbing child notices the "sun slow / through the kitchen window: / a wafer / dissolving into morning." --Matt Rasmussen To enter Julie Hensley's Viable is not to step but to plunge. "Here memory is physical and startling," her speaker confides, and the same must be said of these poems--each one delicate and precise, pulsing a vital heat. With Hensley's guide, we travel through deftly rendered landscapes of the Great Plains and the rural South. We study the language of horses and historical figures. We probe marriage, miscarriage, childbirth, and child-rearing, "the things people plant to anchor themselves/ beneath so much sky." We hear our own fears and wants echoing back to us from the deeply human center of this book. Like the speaker's young son, we learn to trust that "No matter where we go, the moon follows." --Julie Marie Wade, author of Postage Due: Poems & Prose Poems and When I Was Straight: Poems In the rich and vivid poems of Viable, Julie Hensley rings the changes of a girl child's life, from riding stick-horses in her yard in Big Stone Gap to sexual discovery after sixteen summers, to homesickness in her first apartment, then to love, marriage and, motherhood.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and the Great Plains. These accessible poems By Amazon Customer In the fully realized poems of _Viable_, Julie Hensley provides the richly detailed witness of the various stages of a woman’s life as daughter, sibling, lover, wife, and mother at various places in the rural South, the desert Southwest, Europe, and the Great Plains. These accessible poems, most of them lyrics rich with fresh imagery, explore the discoveries of youth, the passions of courtship and marriage, and the heartaches and joys of pregnancy and childbirth. Other poems, dramatic monologues, speak with the voices of women from history (Jacqueline Kennedy, Mary Tudor, Virginia Woolf, Julia Pastrana) and the Bible (Sarah) and touch on many of these same themes. Though the majority of the poems are finely wrought in free verse, the volume also boasts an exquisite poem written in that most difficult of received forms, the crown of sonnets: ”We Had Been Promised.” Moving highlights are poems dedicated to the author’s children: the title poem and “For Her to Enter This World.”
