Reviews:

“Who are we to one another? Erin Kae’s insistent, unsettling poems find ways to listen, to imagine and care, where most of us would pass by unthinking, would make a monster of a person. An unforgettable new voice has arrived.”
–Lytton Smith, author of My Radar Data Knows Its Thing (Foundlings Press, 2018)

“What does it mean to try to understand our own mother’s experience of mothering us? Or to try to understand another mother’s experience of mothering? Erin Kae’s unfli nching debut imagines what it means to be a tourist in the city of a mother’s unimaginable decisions… The poems in Grasp This Salt are beautiful and frightening, unafraid to grasp at miscarriage, murder, and whether we can make sense of violent death—to look behind the curtains left open ‘for neighbors to know there is nothing to see here’… These are fierce lyrics of violence and of mothering.”
–Cori A. Winrock, author of Little Envelope of Earth Conditions (Alice James, forthcoming)
