Fieldglass
PRAISE FOR FIELDGLASS
PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY / “Pond’s scintillating debut examines family history, female friendship, geography, and sexual identity in poems of startling craft and vision.”
POETRY NORTHWEST / “Fieldglass does what the best collections grounded in autobiography and confession tend to do: interrogate not only the source of conflict, suffering, and trauma, but also pay homage to what enables us to find comfort and healing.” —Jon Lemay
PREPOSITION MAGAZINE / “These poems possess a clarity as impactful as it is rare...through elegant turns of phrase, profound emotional excavations, and a Glück-like mastery of mood and tone.” —Christopher Kempf
LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS / “Deeply touching…throughout the collection, the speaker does not shy away from forgiveness, which, in tandem with her critical eye, imbues the poems with a sense of ambition.” —Loisa Fenichell
THE ADROIT JOURNAL / “A luminous collection of poems. Pond’s lines are taut and imagistic, and the narratives harbor dark betrayals and stark moments of beauty.” — Maria Hummel
BRINK / “The love, to paraphrase Maggie Nelson, is monstrous and large in Pond’s collection. Like the most astute writers, Pond brings a lyrical and nuanced understanding of the vulnerable self.” —Hannah Bonner
