WHEN YOUR SKY RUNS INTO MINE

Praise for WHEN YOUR SKY RUNS INTO MINE:

“When Your Sky Runs Into Mine is a stunning debut collection … about personal revolution, the turning toward art in times of suffering, the claiming of a rich cultural heritage.”

—Ellen Bass, author of Indigo

“Rooja Mohassessy’s debut collection belies any notion of a first book. It is a work of expansive vision and formal achievement, sounding an assured and unforgettable voice in poetry. “

—Shara McCallum, author of No Ruined Stone

Mohassessy’s intellectual power and penchant for image stand out in beautiful ways in this debut collection. She displays a painterly use of color, texture, and image that reflects her striking awareness of the physical world.  Her capacity for efficient and elegant syntax and her fierce intelligence when dealing with political subjects and subjects of the female body in this world, constitute a most welcome addition to American poetry.  This is a very impressive debut collection by a most promising poet.”

—Kwame Dawes, author of UnHistory with John Kinsella
