I am reviewing a copy of So, Stranger through Button Publishers, Independent Book Publishers Association and Netgalley:

So, Stranger is Topaz Winters third collection of poetry, it spans three countries and three generations.  It is a far-reaching & deftly-woven series of ars poeticas, Winters questions the boundary between the things we inherit & those we owe, stands at the grave of the American dream, & unspools the enormous grace & guilt of being loved.

Topaz Winters So, Stranger stands a mark between the shifting histories & futures of being a daughter, being an artist, & being an immigrant.  The reader begins as a stranger but by the end of the book, feels like a friend.  

I give So, Stranger five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
