"Lovely and modern, intimate and an ode to the Midwest." --Sara Dahmen, author of Wine and Children

"The relationship between the inner and outer worlds, and how they mirror each other, is captured beautifully in King's poignant poetry." --Amanda McCleod, editor of Animal Heart Press & book reviewer at Wordly Musings
