Landlocked: Etymology of Whale Fish and Grace

… Danelle Lejeune‘s poetry has the power of a siren’s song, at once luring us in with delicate lulling rhythms that glide like “the flutter of a sparrow’s wing,” as in her poem “Broken Tractor” while chasing the elusive song-spell of “truth, until it turns to catch us up in its angry claws” as in “Milovat.” In its teasing out of the enchanting wonders in nature to dreams unwoven of a family past, Lejeune’s Etymology of Whale Fish and Grace will leave you spellbound.
-James Ragan
