RaveChicago Review of BooksAs a poetry editor, I receive a lot of poems about the presidency, many of which are stunning and urgent, but rarely do I see ones so direct as in this collection ...

The sonnet, which means \'little song,\' proves a good form for this collection ... American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin does not just condemn oppression and hatred, it also makes space for celebrating joy.
