Review Quotes
This dazzling anthology presents an impressive and diverse choir of speakers, each expertly grappling with the divine mess of truths emerging from chrysalides. Although richly varied in voice and style, they are united by a breathtaking intimacy that reminds us what poetry can do, why we do it, and how it binds us: a fitting tribute to the community that Off The Chest have built.
