Overview

From Ohio to Michigan, Sharon Rose-Kourous reflects back on the quiet rural life of the communities clustered near Lake Erie. How We Argue showcases the strong, stubborn nature of the people of the Midwest, recalls childhood adventures along the lakeshore, chronicles small-town reactions to the pandemic, and charts the fears and frustrations of the modern world. These poems are the driftwood and bracken found along various beach-lines of the poet's Midwestern life, banded together by perseverance and a deep understanding of people.

Reviews

In How We Argue, Sharon Rose-Kourous writes from the long view of a life well lived and a world cracked open. . . . With wisdom that never preaches, and a steadiness that never strains, she offers us what we didn't know we were missing: a way to keep going, even as everything changes, even as the last word is gone. -Rus Bowman ""Insightful, challenging, and creative. . . . Sharon Kourous' poetry magnifies familiar experiences, infuses them with ambiguity, attaches them to universal realities, and challenges assumptions you previously misinterpreted as facts. -Nancy Seubert
