-Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
"Maria Williams' White Doe deftly reveals the arrangements of human grief. The poems sharply illuminate what cannot be enough against the possibility of what must be. Out of the memory of fields, birds, and light emerges the gift of revelation."
- E. J. Koh, author of The Liberators and The Magical Language of Others
"I am in love with this dreamy, astonishing, exquisite book."
-Marcela Sulak, author of Mouth Full of Seeds
