Under the Influence of Jane Wong
"Not all Wong’s writing about food is sweet or savory, but all her writing about food—and food as more than food—is potent, searing, charged with unforgettable flavor. It’s the language, the imagery, the investments in personal, familial, and public history that make this writing nothing less than delectable."

What Sparks Poetry:
Susan Tichy on Jane Augustine's Traverse
"Spare, unselfconscious, nearly transparent, Augustine’s poems reach out to the things of this world like a ship whose constant soundings describe its own location. No part of her lived experience is excluded, so a reader may find herself meditating on a painting, carrying a backpack, searching for a homeless man under a scaffold, or pulled suddenly back to a parent’s death-night twenty years before." |
