I love this gorgeous, gutting, unforgettable book. -- Leni Zumas, author of Red Clocks Mother Winter, Sophia Shalmiyev's catastrophically bright, wavering motion of a memoir, forged through sticky clouds of pain, is vividly awesome and truly great. -- Eileen Myles, author of Evolution With sparse, poetic language Shalmiyev builds a personal history that is fractured and raw; a brilliant, lovely ache. -- Michelle Tea, author of Against Memoir
