Maya Jewell Zeller with Gabrielle Bates and Laura Read
"In out takes/ glove box the speaker thinks beautifully through the shifting sands of mothering and tracks the body as it spirals through time. The language is dazzling. We’re privy to a ‘vermillion funeral’ and learn an astonishing thing, ‘[t]he square root of whiskey is water.’ Intimacy, here, includes the natural world. Animals and plants are tended to, torn into, and observed with an enviable capacity to render them mythic, tangible. These poems are spellbinding—read them out loud to experience their full power.”—Eduardo Corral
