LAUREN TURNER THE ONLY CARD IN A DECK OF KNIVES
The highly-anticipated debut collection from the author of We’re Not Going to Do Better Next Time (knife | fork | book, 2018)
"This is a book that is unnerving and unsettling in the questions it poses and deeply satisfying in the skill and discipline with which the poet sustains her interrogations, both of those who have exerted their own agency over her history, and of her own sense of self." - Rachel McCrum, Montreal Review of Books
