Amazing, Angela. You sharpened this readers senses in just the right way, braiding images as if they were always meant to be together. Now I want to go back to CWC archives and read prior iterations!

I think this is how I am supposed to feel after reading a poem, slightly askew. It is so beautiful and at the same time leaves me a little uncomfortable. thank you Ang.
