Editorial Reviews

In a world so often focused on the boundaries that divide us, it is refreshing to encounter a volume that respects our differences in perspective but also reveres our common humanity. The searching voices of these poems, whose explorations range from daydreams to deathbeds, bring the reader to the edge of tragedy and back again.
