"You have a voice that speks to the most hurt angry part of me in the best way possible--a voice that neither denies the complexity of the grief and injury inherent in the broken life nor dwells in that hurt place. These poems take a deep breath and sing of the remade life, the girl who will not destroy herself, the woman who has found a way to stand proud in her own skin. I want to read this book out loud to those I love. I want to give it to the bent-neck, hesitant, wounded young people I meet all the time. I want to say read this an draw your own breaths in response."
- Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina
