Description
Poetry. "There's a beautiful epigraph that invites us into THE JITTERS: '…am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?' The jitters, the junk, the pain, the fortitude to remain here as 'a new creature /… brave enough / to be wounded.' Anne Cecelia Holmes has the courage to say carefully, and measure shrewdly; to sing sadly, and sing boldly. To paraphrase her: hold your breath, read this book. Her poems don't flinch or back away from our darkest thoughts."—Dara Wier
