Death of the Master
Patrick Kyle | Koyama Press | 9781927668719 | October 2019

The Human Half
Deborah Brown | BOA Editions | 9781942683803 | April 2019
“The Human Half is the kind of poetry book that makes me want to take out my own notebook and write something new and precise. In fact, each phrase of Brown’s poem ‘Write About This’ is a fresh prompt. And if years from now, you read a new poem that feels as if it might have been inspired by a line ‘about an evening full/ of squirrels flying between us,’ know Deborah Brown supplied the writing exercise.” —America: The Jesuit Magazine
