Proof that the world of poetry chugs along with quiet but spirited strength, Christle publishes her fourth collection, filled with imagination and sharp personal moments. --Tiffany Gilbert, TimeOut New York

-It's a generous and warm collection, and Christle reminds us that to be alive is not to be safe from trauma, but to be aware of how intact one can remain in spite of pain and furious joy.- --Publishers Weekly

With sincerity and intelligence, Christle's book bravely seeks connection amidst chaos; in doing so, she offers a model for how to find meaning in the impossibly brief and immeasurable. Rather than seeking to dampen the impact of fear, these poems offer a nimble portrait of its daily iterations. In a tine when we are distinctly aware of the limits of human intelligence and empathy, Christle's Heliopause gives voice to an essential plea: touch me / touch me'. --Kate Partridge, Cafe Review
