If Birds Gather Your Hair for Nesting: Poems (National Poetry) (The National Poetry Series)
“Many female poets address sex in tones of victimhood, but Journey is downright predatory. Indeed, she's all about ecstasy in the  original sense, meaning to leave your state of being. But if living to the  fullest requires ecstasy, then it also requires a dose of death. Journey has her misgivings about this, which hints at a kind of existential sanity. That  makesIf Birds Gather Your Hair for Nestinga fabulous little book, the work of a young poet (I kept hearing bits of Wallace Stevens and Maxine  Kumin) wise beyond her years.”—Los Angeles Times
