praise for Girl Saints by CX Dillhunt


"Dillhunt names his world with the power of a young Adam.
It is here: the warm pulse of human embrace, poems that 'breathe like grass,
shine like asters.' But stand warned, reader: gentleness is not all.
He also has an eye so clear he can admire the pattern of Fate's diamondback rattler even as the beast bites.
Fierce sunshine, lightning strike, the loss and gain of beloved of his own blood:
he has known all of these, and so will you.
This brave, luminous collection shimmers in the hand.
Prepare to be scared witless, and delighted to the bone."

-- Margaret Benbow
