Postage Due is a dazzling series of necessary utterances. Wade uses
the language of Christianity to section her book, fraught with joy and
pain, to explore what we owe and to whom. She employs postcards,
letters, and literary and pop culture heroines--most notably Oz's
Dorothy--to tell and retell of the dreamlike past. In Postage Due, you
will meet the (post-confessional) young lady who fell from a
star.--Denise Duhamel
Postage Due is a sometimes ekphrastic, often epistolary scrapbook of
poetic artifacts documenting an odd girl's coming of age.
Julie Marie Wade is the author of two collections of lyric
nonfiction, Wishbone: A Memoir in Fractures and Small Fires.
