Many thanks to rob mclennan at rob mclennan’s blog  for this engaging and thoughtful review of Melissa Powless Day’s new poetry collection A BOW FORGED FROM ASH.

“Day’s poems are performative, gestural, precise; offering exact and propulsive rhythms that allow her lines a kind of hum, a thrum. There’s an agency she builds, and she holds, throughout the collection, composing poems from a secure foundation and understanding of her cultural and individual self, fully aware how resistance is absolutely required, offering song and breath and community.”
