On May 26, 1991, Barbara Langhorst's father shot and killed her mother, then turned the gun on himself. Restless White Fields asks: how do you rebuild a life? In this unsentimental collection of poems, Barbara Langhorst revisits personal horrors few of us can imagine, with startling imagery that rends even as it heals.
