Talking to Alice by Kelly R. Samuels
Published November 2023
PDF micro-chapbook
In crisply heartbreaking poems, Kelly R. Samuels speaks not so much to Alice as toward a recklessly hopeful younger self. Don't follow down the rabbit hole of hoped-for love. Wake up by the river. Forget the dreams. Hurry home before dark.
-William Stobb, author of You Are Still Alive
Samuels ponders purpose, change, and uncertainty in wonderful turns of phrase and space. Reflective, wittily arranged, and truly in conversation with Alice’s adventures.
-Kylie Ayn Yockey, poetry editor, Blood Tree Literature
