Poetry. "Stacy Gnall's brilliant debut collection, HEART FIRST INTO THE FOREST, explores those timeless yet inexplicable mysteries of worldly (and other-worldly) transformations we know from fable and fairy tale. With her exquisite lyric delicacy, Stacy Gnall weaves a candid, luminous perspective that reveals a forest whose intricate darkness can be lit, of course, only by the heart"—David St. John.
