I cannot foresee a better book of American poetry published this year.” —Ron Rash\, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Serena and Poems: New and Selected \n“Sinking into Helen of Troy\, 1993 felt like the magic of finding a kindred spirit on the stool next to me in a dive bar. Zoccola’s poems kept me saying\, ‘Yes\, yes exactly.’ In her rendering of the rural South\, she takes things I have felt only indistinctly and delivers them to me with sharp and beautiful and brutal clarity.” —Stacey Swann\, author of Olympus\, Texas\, a GMA Book Club Pick
