"These poems are so precise and natural that you may not, at first, notice the room and weight they are making in you--the lines break, the lines surprise, the lines ride through some very honest regions of witnessing and listening. A powerful balance is at work(ful) play, tension and exclamation, the weight of the languag(ed) self and the weightlessness of the lyric soul.” —Thomas Sayers Ellis, author of SKIN INC.: IDENTITY REPAIR POEMS
