The Affrilachian poets write a lot of persona poems, so I am familiar with the form, and therefore somewhat eager to get a copy of this book. It sounds great.

“The literal truth of a poem is much less important to me than its emotional core and relevance.”

Stacey Lynn Brown is an excellent reader too. I heard her read from Cradle Song at an event in Georgia. She has a beautiful voice, and she memorizes many of the poems. They really do sound like lovely, intricate songs. Her book is one of the best I’ve read this year. Heartfelt,vivid poems.
