“a brilliant book of poetry-memoir-witness”
—Anne Waldman,
“harrowing and brave; illuminating and haunting.”
—Hoa Nguyen
“necessary and dangerous work…a stunning addition to the crip canon.”
—Meg Day
“a writer who does not look away from ‘so much unknown,’ inhabiting the ‘blur’ and ‘the beauty’ in equal measure.”
—Bhanu Kapil
“these poems are lucidly crystalline songs of light; not the doctor’s interrogative glare but lanterns shining us home.”
—Roxanna Bennett
“a devastating and exhilarating read!”
—Vidhu Aggarwal
The Color She Gave Gravity
The Operating System, 2017
“…a breathtaking (which is to say, life-giving) book that both stills and energizes by breaking and reforming the unseen bonds of DNA, language, geography, and history.”
—TC Tolbert
“…a deeply engaging articulation of the interplay between mental illness and the creative instinct, history and destiny, and limitation and willful boundary.”
—Airea D. Matthews
“These poems enact one of our most potent human gifts: our ability to find ourselves — tumbling, falling down, standing up — in proprioceptive relation to everything in our earthly realm.”
—Eleni Sikelianos
“…a sonorous force field calling on tenderness, care, vigilance and abandon…imparting and dispelling the inexplicable along peripheries and in intimately centered frames of movement: gorgeously evocative and intensely realized capacious psychic flows.”
—Brenda Iijima
