Praise

“I admire the energy in this work; both wild and unruly as it takes the streets and roams with its fluctuating line length and its powerful voice. ‘Spine’ does something unique in that it constantly questions, constantly reaches out, aching for the world to answer. The voice has an openness to it, as well as a controlled violence, so the poems are at once unsafe and exhilarating.”
        –Ada Limón
