Selected in Fall 2023 by Mark Doty.
Called “smart, witty, and ambitious” by Kevin Prufer, this collection reflects on historical suffering and immigration, individual and collective survival, and the defiant power of love in poems linked by a compassionate imagination, stunning imagery, wit, sonic beauty, and characteristically striking juxtapositions.
“In poem after poem, she succeeds with courage and essential details—what Czelaw Milosz called ‘immense particulars’ – in witnessing to the twentieth century facts of ‘man handing on misery to man.’ AT RISK couldn’t have arrived on the door-step of our time at a more propitious moment.”
–-Chard deNiord
AT RISK is available through the Ashland Bookstore and elsewhere.
