I am so very thankful for Alina Stefanescu’s thoughtful, well-considered review of Writing Your Name on the Glass. It’s so touching and encouraging to see how people engage with my work.
A favorite moment from the review:
It is significant that Whiteside’s poems begin with a fugue. In Latin, the verb fuga means to run. And these poems use running as a form of poetic motion, a movement that is both lyrical and essential to the questions of queer identity in many southern states.
To feel seen in this way, to have someone pick up on nuances in the collection at the language level, is heartening and invaluable. Click here or on the image below to read the whole review!
