"I had a physical reaction, the nodding and head-shaking and eye-closing and deep breaths that come when I read a wonderful poem. I made a lot of those motions as I read this collection, and I was grateful for its tackling of life's sadness and uncertainty."

 -Gretchen Primack
Reviewer for PANK MAGAZINE

"When you read Stevie Edwards' words, every organ in your body will feel like it is shutting down...Edwards is taking all the oxygen with these poems...and it hurts so good."

"Here is the soundtrack to a young woman discovering her ability to be human, to be equal parts fucked up and beautiful."

-J.W. Basilo
 Author & Performer
"A thrilling debut of voice-driven poems from a poet wracked by her vision of the world as it is in all its lowly grit and open air."

-Jericho Brown
