"Like the plot of a mystery story, Valerie Witte’s latest poetry collection develops through a series of carefully placed, linked details. Multiple voices, weaving tales of abrasions, glances, and micro-traumas, contribute to the poems’ fragmented qualities..."
"The effect is an eerie building of tension as small events lead to larger ones within an evolution of associative leaps."

More reason to love John Goodman
This is a fantastic ad for @LucasKunceMO for Senate, featuring John Goodman, who was born and raised in Missouri, as well as Lucas.
