註釋

"This is Candice Kelsey's third full-length book of poetry. Her second full-length collection, A Girl / Woman / Teacher / Poet, is out now with Alien Buddha Press (2022) while her debut full-length collection, Still I am Pushing, is out with Finishing Line Press (2020). "In this stunning collection, Candice Kelsey skillfully maneuvers the reader through different levels of escape, encompassing both the pangs and the beauty of living. Seemingly light-hearted pieces like 'Ode to sleeping in my mascara' and 'Epiphany, or checking her face in the rearview mirror at a red light' suggest a wider social critique that initially is unexpected, but delightfully surprises. Grief and loss are woven throughout this collection. Seemingly innocuous sentences like "After all, who would sweep their kitchen floor?" camouflage a deeper, larger and poignant loss, highlighting how we are faced with daily, mundane losses alongside more significant, direct and life-altering ones. Kelsey reminds the reader timeously in this work that some level of escapism (and comfort therein) is required to walk hand-in-hand with grief, both monumental and minute." -- Amazon.com
