A new voice emerges from Lesley University's MFA program, and it's a strong voice, with precise diction, sharp imagery, and deep figurations. Molly Meyer's stories expose our life-and-death struggle with the corruption of our bodies and souls, the corruption that time, disease, and the maliciousness of human societies wreak upon us. Poetry lovers are in for a very good night of reading with this collection-and hopefully more "echoes" to come from Ms. Meyer. -Tom Lombardo, author of What Bends Us Blue and The Name of This Game
