Miss American Sky

In Miss American Sky, Chad Hanson's third full-length collection, places turn into people. Men become birds and women will themselves into the shape of coyotes. Or maybe they were creatures all along? In Hanson's work the rational vision of life shares the stage with one where impossibilities fit neatly inside of the everyday. The lines that separate the familiar from the uncanny begin to fade, and in the space that opens up between, we find insights on the state of our humanity.
