Review Quotes

"The poems in author Krystal A. Smith's debut collection, This is Not about Love, are everything we need in this moment of isolation. They examine loneliness and togetherness in all their forms -- by choice, by necessity, and by force of circumstance. These poems' longing, desire, pettiness, humor, and devastation mirror all that it is being in and out of relationship." Jason Herndon
