Review Quotes:

"With her first book, Heather Christle established herself as one of our most exciting new poets. With Heliopause, her astonishing fourth collection, it's clear she's one of our most essential. Smart, grave, tender, and fiercely alive, these poems vibrate with the hushed power of just-before-the-storm: magnetic, charged, eerily clear."--Lisa Olstein, author of Little Stranger

"'On the sidewalk / I'm watching a full-length / animation the trees made / w/technical direction / from the sun, ' writes Heather Christle in her beautiful shadow-play of a book, Heliopause. These twenty-first-century allegories of the cave disclose 'the dark uncovered places / of now becoming a then.' Christle's work makes that dark shine.""--Srikanth Reddy, author of Voyager
