PRAISE:
“My mother said remember,” and we do. Through the poems of Emily Pease, we heed that imperative and remember to remake the world daily. In this debut poetry chapbook, ordinary life and extraordinary loss walk hand-in-hand like terrifying companion angels in a Rilkean South. Emily Pease is wildly in love with the language of poetry, and wildly, language loves her back.
