'They say that trauma's coded in the genes, ' Julie Kane reflects in 'Inheritance, ' the first of several perfectly tuned villanelles in Mothers of Ireland. This latest book by the former poet laureate of Louisiana explores the intersection of personal and historical memory with an unflinching eye, the utmost formal urgency, and an obsessive desire to plumb the starkest emotional truths--a work of revelations and raw elegance.--Annie Finch, author of Among the Goddesses: An Epic Libretto in Seven Dreams
