Dan Albergotti, author of Millennial Teeth So grab this book, reader, and head for the winter trees. The forests are dark and haunted by ghosts of the past, the present, and yes, the future, but with clear vision, uncommon courage, and a stunningly empathetic imagination, Kindred leads us inexorably toward the light.

They examine what it is to have, to lose, to be a mother, and remind us that, even in the deepest woods, “mercy is the motor, spinning this story.” What an astounding book this is.” Sally Rosen Kindred’s poems, thorned and gorgeous, spin a world of moss and memory, of teeth and grief and asphodel. “Both elegy and origin story, Where the Wolf chronicles the darkness that makes and breaks and saves us.
