From Michelle Halket, Publisher: "Our most recent round of open poetry submissions resulted in the discovery of some of the best new poets out there and Shams' is a perfect example. Gritty and real, accessible and unique in its long-form structure, her poetry will resonate with those looking to investigate and challenge what they see happening around them. I'm proud Central Avenue was her choice for a home for this book, and I cannot wait to share it with you all next fall."
