โ€œLike problems that end up solving themselves, Cristine Bracheโ€™s poems feel torn out of old diaries, ripped from the headlines, plucked from obscurity and pushed into the spotlightโ€”at once familiar and refreshing to read.โ€

โ€”Natasha Stagg, author of ๐˜ˆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด

โ€œThe specter surrounding us finds an extraordinary poet holding the backdoor open so we can climb through. 'But who are these gods that replay my life and question it? All along I thought I was safe.' Cristine Brache has given us a brilliant, haunting page-turner with ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.โ€

"Cristine Bracheโ€™s poems are like a phone call with a long lost friend, their flow and rhythm attuned, so that whatโ€™s left in the end is a feeling of once again moving in accordance with things."

โ€”Rachel Rabbit White, author of ๐˜—๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ข๐˜ญ

โ€œUnderneath the surface of Bracheโ€™s tautly constructed verse are a series of propositions that examine the contracted distance between wanting and ambivalence, between running away and staying, and between disappointment and pleasure. Central to the artistโ€™s practice is the concept that the present is just a waiting room in which we consider what weโ€™ve had and what we will inevitably lose; lodged between regret and longing are these poems, shimmering with the doomed glamor of the now.โ€

โ€”Alissa Bennett, author of ๐˜›๐˜ข๐˜น๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ตโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ

โ€œCristine Brache works dually as a visual artist and poet, and this gives her writing a particular charge. Poetry, for Brache, becomes the default, the last resort, and a means of covert assault in matters of living where language has led. Bracheโ€™s poems are wide-ranging, intellectually accomplished and deeply shocking. Sheโ€™s doing something very original here.โ€

โ€”Chris Kraus, author of ๐˜ˆ๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ

โ€œThe violence women endure is met head-on with the fearless poetry of Cristine Brache, giving us all the courage to embrace the strength of poetry. Her life, her love, her unapologetic and direct care for the female body and voice can change whatever needs changing in the coldest ignorance our hostile and judgmental world can dish.โ€

โ€”CAConrad, author of ๐˜“๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ

"These poems are like dares from the writer to the readerโ€”I dare you to look at me, to define me, to unravel me. The body is amorphous here and hard to pin downโ€”both alluring and defiant, stoic and vulnerable. These contradictions open up a world of possibility that Cristine Brache writes within, and no word is wasted."

โ€”Chelsea Hodson, author of ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Œ๐˜ญ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ

"Testing the air with confidence and austere beauty and wisdom, Cristine Brache manages to rework the language of a female body. Each poem, creating a new form unsparing and deeply transformative, this book is a magical marvel."

โ€”Precious Okoyomon, author of ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ฅ ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ฆ?

โ€œThe figures evoked in Cristine Bracheโ€™s ๐˜—๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ดโ€”cam girls, housewives, daughtersโ€”often find themselves topping from the bottom, locating power in the positions, sexual and gendered, designed to disempower them. But this role play is not wholly triumphant: Brache, a cunning satirist in the tradition of Dorothy Parker, never loses sight of the larger culture in which women are not โ€˜paid / seen, heard, or understood,โ€™ only looked at. โ€˜[Y]ou are the one who disgusts her,โ€™ she charges the voyeur her reader becomes, โ€˜she is laughing at you while you hold your phone to record her.โ€™โ€

โ€”Jameson Fitzpatrick, author of ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜›๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜บ

โ€œ๐˜—๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด deals carefully, tenderly, cleverly, and, at times, bitingly with pain, beauty, and struggle, both internal and external, personal and societal. This is a book Iโ€™ll revisit again and again.โ€

โ€”Jordan Castro, author of ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต
