Slim Night of Recognition: Poems (Lynx House Book)

"How very gifted she was; the poems possess such an uncanny authority, swerve in such clean and unsettling ways, and hit such detailed, wonderfully unpredictable and always right-feeling notes, they're truly stirring. And there seems a haunting prescience in many of them, so quietly there. Astonishing to think she wrote them at so young an age." -Laurie Sheck
