"The power in these poems pitches, confessional and kindred like a
puck along some pocked seam of red dirt clodded sanity.
Grief-drenched, malady-reamed, and clumped up in some rancorous
home front fault line ceremoniously split wide open, what proves
revelatory, beyond Mish's poetic prowess, is her delivery of
synchronicity in place and time--a sweet, sweet
surrender."--Allison Adelle Hedge Coke author of Streaming
"There's a never-misty nostalgia and sometimes hard edge to these
poems of a rough childhood, and an homage to the equally rough
environs of Oklahoma. It's the sure hand of the writer that keeps
you reading, the propulsive sense of a life happened, lived and
recorded, with as much candor and skill as the best poetry offers
us"--Rusty Barnes, author of Reckoning
