The Geese at the Gates

Drucilla Wall grew up in Philadelphia. Reflected in her work are diverse ties to home places ranging from Missouri, Nebraska, Alabama, and Pennsylvania; to the settings of County Wexford and Galway, Ireland. Her writing engages her mixed heritage of Creek/Muscogee American Indian, Irish, and Jewish identity. This debut poetry collection reflects on the elusive forces of landscape, history, family, and spirit that resist exploration yet lay claim to who we are.
