KIND WORDS
“Kieran Collier navigates the science of grief and loss with a deft hand, These are poems that speak of bodies that are gone from our physical space but live on through crisp and heartfelt images, a strong and beautiful narrative, and an emerging and necessary voice.”
— Hanif Abdurraqib, author of The Crown Ain’t Worth Much
“Through collecting the small intimate moments of his mother's too-short time with his family, Collier honors loss and life in the same breath. He calls his mother back to her own breath, takes ours away, then offers it back.”
— Emily O’Neill, author of Pelican
