*** "Exquisite offerings of poetry that have a realism that's sometimes in your face." A deeply moving and provocative ensemble showcasing human frailty and the strength of perseverance.

All within a page, she weaponizes words, then cures disease," writes Jai Thoolen, children's author, lyricist, and poet. ***
