Fluid, erudite, encompassing, hymnal, these assertive and biblicalesque poems move with magisterial confidence, astral authority, and striking originality. They arrive into the world fully formed and without apologies while retaining their eloquent richness and intellectual centrifugal innocence. Designed to be read and re-read over and over again, these poems seem to immortalize experience over time, translation over words, and breath over floor. - Vi Khi Nao, judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize
