Of this poem, Miranda Dennis writes, “What does it mean to be disinherited? What does it mean to lose the meager empire you gained through all the bone-rotting compromises you made? What does it mean when loss comes at your own hand, the axe that finally fells the great old tree?”

The world is on fire. We can add to that or fix our hearts. In Roseanna Alice Boswell’s Fat & Fire, Shrek’s Dragon weighs the cost-benefit analysis of such a choice. Destruction is easy. Loving is hard. Perception? Impossible. Purchase this thought-provoking collection at whittlemicropress.com.

Of her favorite poem from Talking to Alice, Kelly R. Samuels says, “I love the image that comes with the title and how the end of the poem comes back around to that. I also like how the speaker admits to some futility while giving some of herself away.” #digitalpublishing #kellyrsamuels
