Kudzu Does Not Stop
Jane Wong’s Kudzu Does Not Stop is a beautiful little collection full of poems sculpted with a lapidary’s precision. The natural world is engaged with a freshness I couldn’t have imagined before coming across this manuscript. The voice behind this fine work is nuanced, unique, and full (even when fragmented). That voice belongs to one of the most exciting emerging writers in the country. Join me in welcoming the wonderful poetry of Jane Wong into the OW! Arts Family.

I enjoyed these poems. They're well-crafted poems with curious disjunctions in the sentence structure, at once intimate family poems, and at the other times, a sort of drifting in the aether.
Jane Wong is young (29), talented and thoughtful. She should go far, if these poems are any indication. My greatest objection is the curious timid quality, a sort of fear of the impact of the meaning of what she writes. I'm sure it's just part of being a young poet. No doubt her work is growing more muscular as we speak.
