Some Electric Hum

In Some Electric Hum, Janice Northerns’ first full-length poetry collection, she offers vivid portraits of the marginalized and the forgotten, ranging from ancestors and historical figures to carnival workers, students, and even animals and objects.
“At the core of this book are the raw elements of birth, love, and death; while surrounding them are sophisticated yet impassioned readings of the violence of history, class, and social codes.” —William Wenthe
