Praise for Allison Adelle Hedge Coke:

These are the songs of righteous anger and utter beauty. -Joy Harjo

From Carcass :

Split skin stretched over marrowless cage, encased dry tomb, like those strewn through this loess reach, cradling past ever present here, and now you come walking riverside, bringing sensory thrill into daylight much like this cervidae culled morning each waking before demise. We move this way, catching life until death captures us, where we rot into the same dust holding multitudes before us, and welcoming those beyond.
