In Consequences of Flight, Pei Ja Anderson brilliantly twists grief, defiance, and nostalgia into a tone all her own. She crafts stunning imagery without falling victim to clichés--instead she turns them on their head and into something new, raw, and spectacular. She takes on themes of loss, femininity, adoption, love, and race, all in her uniquely intense and lyrical voice that will leave you breathless and aching for more. Her deeply honest poems smart of betrayal without turning bitter, and trace hope and longing without ever verging on saccharine. With opening lines that will knock you off your feet and never give you enough time to get back up, Pei Ja Anderson's Consequences of Flight is an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
