Emily Hoover’s poetry collection cuts; it also bleeds… In Emily Hoover’s debut, she offers candor, no doubt, [and] loves rendered with care and grace, in songs I will not forget. –Justin Bigos
Emily Hoover has a remarkable way of writing along the serrated edge of complexity… I hear the lullaby of the burdened child, the song that sets us free. These poems are tenacious, gestating, redemptive, and ready to bear–schizophrenia, the still-tethered self, love, and its relentless mania. –Jennifer Battisti
