Beautifully sparse lines and unsparing imagery . . . A harrowingly visceral, incomparable poetry collection. --Booklist Lyrical descriptions that showcase emotional vulnerability. --Publishers Weekly Christina uses rhythmic, throbbing, vervy language that lets readers live Anarcha's tragic story. --Library Journal Dominique's poems paint brutal truths. Beautiful truths. They seek to uncover a history hidden under the skin. In an era in which such truths are in danger of being forgotten, Dominique's voice is an essential. Her stories are an unearthing, the soil that connects us to our past, a lens through which, if we look close enough, we may see something that directs us to a kinder future. --Staceyann Chin, author of The Other Side of Paradise This is a beautiful book of poetry by an amazing poet. I can't even begin to grasp the courage it took to write these poems. --Jimmy Santiago Baca, author of A Place to Stand
