The poems in Jennifer Jean's new collection VOZ are a wonderful amalgamation of intelligent and historically aware formal pressures intertwined with an irrepressible joie de vivre animating the language and imagery (even when their subjects are difficult).

A really wonderful book that all lovers of contemporary poetry will be happy to have in their collections.
