Hurt Sounds , is a single chord strum on her father's guitar, his collection of his records, a broken harmonica. It's a phone that won't ring on a birthday, a holiday, or just to say hello. No matter how long we have with our parents, it will never seem like enough time. In Hurt Sounds, Mansfield has allowed a glimpse into the most precious memories she ever shared with her father: his deathbed. Author of the best selling collections "lemon," and "The Hollows of Bone," which was the inaugural Mark Ritzenhein Emerging Author Award winner. Three time Pushcart Prize Nominee, and three time Best of the Net Nominee. Poet in Residence at 2 Dandelions Bookshop in Brighton, MI.
