Daughter Days

Daughter Days spans Julia Wendell's entire career as a poet writing poems to and about her daughter. Poems selected from her previous six books are combined with newer poems, as well as excerpts from her memoirs, Finding My Distance and Come to the X. With this scope, forty years of writing poems for her daughter are telescoped in this compilation of new and selected poems.

Julia Wendell's sixth collection of poems, The Art of Falling, was published by FutureCycle Press in 2022. A Pushcart winner and recipient of Fellowships from Breadloaf and Yaddo, her poems have appeared widely in magazines such as American Poetry Review, Missouri Review, Prairie Schooner, Cimarron Review, and Nimrod. She is the Founding Editor of Galileo Press, lives in Aiken, South Carolina, and is a three-day event rider.
