Good Press for Arboretum in a Jar

Mom Egg Review posted a blurb about my book in their last issue, and then this full-length review from Jiwon Choi most recently. Her thoughtful examination of my work made me feel seen. Here’s one excerpt:

Here the frayed lives of troubled A-list princesses Snow White and Rapunzel take up ample real estate, alongside a gaggle of B-listers with such tongue-in-[cheek] monikers as Fox News -,  Stoner -, and Manic Episode Princess, all struggling to deal with their own off shades of infamy.  Stoner Princess puts it best when she says that “she feels like a fish caught in a weir/ A blueberry caught in a mouth.”   A condition Anne Carson could be describing when she writes of the “soul trapped in glass,” not entirely the victim but “a slow collusion of Master and victim within one voice.”
