Reading Pedrosa's Death Sprouts at the same time....so essentially the same review. Both of these seem to be twinned, so it seems right
Jessica Pedrosa's poems are a delight...what I liked best is that they sort of amble along, carrying you along a little stream of consciousness, and then you strike a rock...a sudden bringing up short, or a return to the world out of a dream.
