Pre-release response for Seasonal Velocities has been wonderful! :) Yay!

Review of Seasonal Velocities from A. Finn Enke, Director of LGBT Studies at UW Madison! 



Ryka Aoki, Seasonal Velocities
Review comments by A. Finn Enke

"Seasonal Velocities is a startling gem of a book. With her characteristic honesty and a powerful, fierce grace, Ryka Aoki carries us through fear in the dark, the half-lives of scars, home, and hope. As vivid and unflinching as it is lyrical, this poetry delivers and demands sparkling truth even as it speaks of violence, longing and love. Rather than aiming to transcend, Aoki invites us to make alliance with all the contradictions of being human, to grow stories, to listen, and to build community despite everything."

Please consider pre-ordering Seasonal Velocities. 30% discount thru March, with release in April.
