This book was selected by one of my instructors at Pacific's MFA program, the insightful Eduardo Corral, for the Academy of American Poets First Book award, and I received it from the Academy a perk of my membership. Intimate and lyrical, and the kind of book that will likely reveal more and more to readers with multiple readings.
A taste of her language:
The song arrived to us braided from figures of speech. In the leftover story-pits, song. The
song doesn't fit inside of a life but fits in the skull of a sparrow, sitting on a shelf in the
gallery on our perfect day. A breakable thing, lacking a body, is still capable of sound.
The slightness of air, threading through the gaps.
