Praise for River Skin
“These are poems of invocation (Come darkness come / it’s time to break this tempest), poems about nothing less than the way memories can swirl like a tilt-a-whirl, making what was blur and overlap. In these memories, the natural world keeps getting interrupted by switchblades of violence, yet the invocations (dear silence come), center us in the possibility of beauty.”
—Nick Flynn, I Will Destroy You
