"Mary Mackey's stunning collection opens with the fierce, hallucinatory music of her 'fever children'"
and
"Poem after poem extends and develops the themes of surreal delerium and psychic transcendence, Mackey's hallucinatory troping continually deconstructing rational consciousness."

"Sharon Olinka has reminded us here to listen to all ghosts who dwell in our world. They are all trying to teach us who we are. Like Izmir, we are each built upon a cache of bone and soul. The voices live as long as we listen. Use these poems well and learn the value of memory."
