"...As fine-tuned as a debut collection of poetry can be. Expressive and descriptive, all of these poems offer the kind of intimate viewpoints-of their speakers' days, homes, families, hopes, and hurts-that I most prize as a reader of poetry. I am struck by the way motherhood is shown at both its softest and hardest edges, by the way the women's lives are treated so elegantly, by the strength of voice. The narrative lines that run throughout Letter are captivating."
-Joey Brown, author of Oklahomaography and The Feral Love Poems
