Publisher Description: In MEMPHIS SHOALS, the second volume in Brad Crenshaw's extravagant epic poem that began with his book Genealogies, we return with Bartlett Smith, narrator of both books, to Memphis, Tennessee, where Smith confronts his personal demons and those of his long-lived extended family. Like his adoptive father, John Elam, a sixteenth-century privateer rendered immortal by his Native American wife, Sarah, Bartlett Smith circumnavigates the world's seas, only to return to the place his journey began. There he confronts the murderous tempests of passion and desire, and the faulty, but enduring consolations of kinship, forgiveness, and love. Poetry.
