“For years I've bragged that the Syracuse [Creative Writing] Program is the best in the country, and now there's a collection that proves it. These three young women—recent grads—trounce the under-read and over-posed poets of their generation. Each writes with ardor, wit, and linguistic invention. Each writes with feeling and clarity and a voice wrenched from the meat of her body.” —Mary Karr
