Critics Say
"Among the 111 pieces featured are a remarkable number of standouts — far too many to highlight here. But I was especially moved by the breadth of humanity on display in all its sadness, joy, rage, despair, and humor..."
—Washington Independent Review of Books on This Is What America Looks Like: Poetry & Fiction from DC, Maryland, Virginia"This Is What America Looks Like is wildly diverse with short stories...and poetry speaking to relationships and experiences that redefine what identity means."
—Washington City Paper on This Is What America Looks Like: Poetry & Fiction from DC, Maryland, Virginia"Refreshingly fearless and, like a subway's third rail, hums with electricity."
—Adam Ross, editor of the Sewanee Review on Adam Schwartz's The Rest of The World"These brilliant poems stun the page..."
—Zakia Henderson-Brown on Steven Leyva's The Understudy's Handbook"When I read the first poem in Words We Might One Day Say, I thought Holly Karapetkova was related to Gabriel Marquez. A surprise seems to appear in many of her poems. Some come close to being magical. I like how this woman writes about childhood. I want to grow old with this book."
