Reviews
...The entire collection dwells on the variation of absence in White's life, and the language she uses is just as lyrical, moving, and original as in her earlier work. Like White, we survive, and after reading her poems, the reader is left pondering what it means to be a survivor, to live, to be alive, and in order to do so, one feels compelled to read White's poems over and over again.--Sarah Appleton "The Los Angeles Review" (1/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
