Help me, words - you always have. The directness and simplicity of these poems, beautifully arranged as stages in a recovery, carry the urgency, honesty and celebration of a life reclaimed. Joan London The poems that comprise Rupture are lucid, deft, unapologetic, forthright. There are images and lines that are literally breathtaking, stanzas that punch with wisdom, and whole poems that linger long after the book is finished. Andrea Goldsmith
