All of Us Come with a Ballad

I don’t write many reviews just now—children and my job and River River Books (joyfully!) receive most of my hours—so I want to celebrate this review at Poetry Northwest with you, because Diane Seuss is doing work that I genuinely think most major American poets cannot: writing poetry that has a clear-eyed gaze towards class, and life lived at the wide and rural borders, edges, margins.

I hope you enjoy, and I hope you find your copy of Modern Poetry and teach it, read it, share it with friends. Happy friday, dear poets.
