I’m biased here; Saida is an old acquaintance and while we’re not exactly close, I think highly of her and her work. So take this review for what that’s worth: I think it’s an excellent collection of wonderfully considered mediations on Nellie Jackson’s life and circumstances. Saida uses her words to build a world and I’ve always been drawn to writers who can do so with sparse, driving prose. Some of these, I had to step back from and consider what I’d read, which is to me the sign of any good poet. Pay for her work and enjoy.
