ABOUT THE BOOK |
Written with great compassion, precision, and nuance, these gorgeously made poems face into the heartbreaks of time and loss, of selves and ex-selves.
— Mary Szybist, author of Incarnadine
Here is a poet who knows that the mind is complex, a map of many countries, in some of which people are starving.
— Marilyn Nelson,
2018 Able Muse Book Award judge,
author of Faster Than Light
I am in awe of this poet for many reasons but especially the way she charts a direct line between the mind that takes in the world, in all its beauty and tragedy, and the ethical voice that speaks out of that witness.
— Shara McCallum, author of Madwoman
These are not just good poems. They are spells. . . . Deirdre O’Connor is an exquisite lyric poet.
— Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic
