In Infections of Loss Rushika Wick's poetry performs as an artful display of poetic thought slipping and spilling out the messy junction of intergenerational trauma and belonging. Her poetry is vibrant and dynamic, unafraid to wrap itself around the bigger questions, resisting resolve and solution, instead, composing for us a window which we lean towards and experience. - Anthony Anaxagorou Rushika Wick's Infections of Loss examines a desire to seek and be seen. These poems push deeply at what it is to remember, and the ways we articulate love and fear in the telling. Family, the earth, the body are at once resilient and fragile and 'the purest currency is memory.' A collection that quivers with emotion and poetic invention, Wick's work questions, unsettles, moves and excites. - Rebecca Goss
