Oxidane

Oxidane is a shining example of narrative in poetry done well. The story is that of three girls, each with distinct voices and distinct roles in their friends circle, who go on a journey to help each other and themselves. The writing is smart and vivid, the poems are condensed and concise, and the structure of the book itself does wonders for its fluidity. Told chronologically and split into two distinct sections, this chapbook is a quick read that you'll find yourself consuming in one go - and then flipping back to the beginning and starting again. I've read it three or four times by now, and not only do I find a new line or poem to appreciate each time, I still enjoy it, too.

Gorgeous writing! “Oxidane” stimulated my imagination like experiencing a vivid dream.
