“In a lean but hard-hitting, visceral verse, Akin ardently depicts what it is like dealing with the loss of a mother, void and haunting memory. A strong, memorable debut collection!” – Jose Hernandez Diaz, author of Bad Mexican, Bad American; The Lighthouse Tattoo; The Parachutist; Portrait of the Artist as a Brown Man
