"Awad’s deeply felt sophomore collection (after Set to Music a Wildfire) reverberates with lines as hard and true as rock. These poems mourn with ferocity and clarity, animals and objects rearing up like a “weep of wolves,/ a drought of bullets, the claws of a catalpa, a mother’s unworry,/ a wilderness of blood.” It is the hurt—and Awad’s bravery in facing it—that lends these poems their remarkable power and vividness." — Publishers Weekly
