Review Quotes

Above all, this is a timely collection. It is something I feel the contemporary poetry community sorely needs--a personal collection that still reaches for the universal, a collection that captures a particular generational experience . . . that is lacking in our current cultural milieu.--Michael Rather, Jr., Concho River Review

These poems are filled with energy and velocity and are at once intimate and grand. Smart, sharp, and intimate, Morales is a truly gifted writer.--Kevin Prufer, author of How He Loved Them

These poems are imbued with the work of trying to understand the histories of broken things like unions, selves, homes, pasts. They carry strategies for survival even as they document crisis and loss.--Aracelis Girmay, author of Kingdom Animalia: Poems

These words are words we've always had inside but never been able to say, and this house coming together in these pages, we can live in it for a while.--Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels: A Novel
