The Inheritance Lands is Anna King's third work of poetry. Following her collection Wilderness, which chronicles a family's attempt to establish peace in a conflicted household, The Inheritance Lands traces the final unravelment of a marriage. As the speaker grapples with the post-divorce landscape, she navigates the aftershock of abandonment, her own undiagnosed anxiety, and a traumatized child with a debilitating eating disorder. Set in the hospitals and therapy clinics just as often as a backyard garden and family swimming pools, The Inheritance Lands boldly unfurls the darkness that drives people to self-destruct, and the unfailing power of the Lord to rebuild.

“Anna King’s powerful third collection of poetry, The Inheritance Lands, fearlessly documents her emotional journey through a failing relationship while struggling to help her traumatized daughter. It immediately brings to mind W. D. Snodgrass’s Heart’s Needle with its strong, constant arc through adversity toward redemption. . . . King plows through adversity toward a hard-won peace and stronger faith.”

—Mac Gay, author of Pluto’s Despair

Anna King holds a PhD in creative writing from Georgia State University. She is the author of two other collections of poetry, into the leftover blue and Wilderness. She teaches high school English in McDonough, Georgia, where she lives with her two children.
