RaveSan Francisco Book Review...a study in hope and heartbreak ... It is the poems about her father and the tiny journalist who give the book its name, Janna, that spark most with life. There is little room for criticism in the frank and gorgeous way Nye cuts through the division to reveal the pulsing heart of humanity in these poems. The book is not only for lovers of Nye’s work or for fans of poetry; it is, instead, a necessary and powerful look at the people—living, breathing, fighting, dying people—who are often lost in grander ideological discussions. It is a book that demands to be read and shared, over and over again.
