Excellent poems throughout. The final long-form piece, "The Starship," was extraordinary, had me completely hooked. This is my first time reading Blake's poems and I am stunned by how inventive and dazzling her work is. Excited to read more!

I picked this up because it includes, "The Starship," a chapbook length poem in which a woman is faced with a looming starship and the opportunity to leave the world behind. This poem stunned me with its strength, compassion, and humanity — and the rest of the poems in this collection manage the same, detailing the detailing the dangers we face as humans on Earth and revealing pathways through them. My interview with the poet, Sarah Blake is here.

An otherwordly out-of-body experience. Seeking liberty from presumption.
