Justin Evans Reviews Julie Platt's Chapbook

Justin Evans has a wonderful review of Julie Platt's chapbook, In the Kingdom of My Familiar, up at his blog. We hope you visit and read his thoughts about her work, she truly is a brilliant poet.

A brief excerpt from the review:

...When the narrator of these poems in this book reveals herself, or should I say allows us a small glimpse, we are left with bald truth and nothing to hide behind.

He also has a few things to say about Tilt Press, and we can't thank him enough for such a generous write up. We are humbled.

It's a masterful poem and one more reason why you should head over to the Tilt Press Catalog.
