Reviews

“Walsh does a great service to the lover of poetry…. Not only do you get exceptional poems; you also hear from the poets themselves about what inspired them, how they chose language and form, how they struggled to give birth to the version they finally shared with the world.”—Clayton Ramsey, Glint Literary Journal
