"Home Studies is filled with
insight and revelation. A wonderful first book!"
- Louis Jenkins, Tin Flag: New and Selected Prose Poems

"Julie
Gard’s Home Studies is a stunning collection of brave, tender, audacious
prose poems about everyday life in the Upper Midwest. Indeed the region’s
weather and architecture are major characters in these dispatches about lesbian
partnership, motherhood, students, neighbors, aging parents and housework and
yard maintenance. . . These poems sing with resilience and wit. Home
Studies invites us to experience the sacredness in daily life."
