Sugar Fix "subtly weaves personal ancestry and national history"
I confess, I still marvel when someone I don't know reads and reviews my book. Poet Lynn Domina is one of those people, and she's written a very thoughtful review of SUGAR FIX over on her blog, where she reviews one poetry book each week. Her commitment is such a gift to readers and the poetry community!
Lynn says, in part:
"One of the most admirable qualities of this collection—and the quality that really makes it a collection rather than simply an accumulation of forty or so poems—is how subtly Wells is able to weave personal ancestry with national history."

Poem from SUGAR FIX featured on The Slowdown
I’m thrilled and honored to have my poem “Voice” from
Sugar Fix
featured on a recent episode (#295) of The Slowdown, a podcast by former U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith.
The Slowdown was recently named by Pop Sugar as one of the best podcasts to ease anxiety, and for good reason – Tracy K. Smith’s smooth, soothing voice and and insightful reflections related to each day’s poem are always a comfort.
If you’re not familiar with the podcast, it’s just 5 minutes each weekday. Check it out on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, or listen to my poem’s episode here on slowdownshow.org.
