Reviews

[Carla Sofia Sofia · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was fascinating to read poems so unexpectedly connected to my own experiences in the Bay Area and in New Jersey. While not all the poems were my jam, feeling grateful to have learned more from this book about how to write poems of place and of shifting geography.
