"The world of Christine Hamm’s Gorilla is both fanciful and treacherous," writes Nicole Cooley. "Each poem is a surprise. A horse eats a woman’s hair. A cat drags a movie star into a woman’s bed...." Gorilla is compelling.

About Christine Hamm's Gorilla, Jenny Xie said this: "In Christine Hamm’s haunting new collection of prose poems, adolescent girlhood is populated by characters out of a surreal bestiary of family life." Here's the link on SPD:

About Carolyn Guinzio's A Vertigo Book, Lee Ann Roripaugh says, "Guinzio's riveting triptych...opens a keyhole of stylized insight into female interiorities..." and Julie Carr found "...it reads like a condensed novel in three parts..." Intrigued?
