These compelling, proudly youthful poems directly and indirectly ask some of the basic, urgent questions of our moment: how to dwell for real with the damaged and gorgeous Earth; how to be with each other in our toxic Now; how to live and love as contaminated beings, with no truly reasonable expectation of an enduring future for our troubled civilization.

-Anthony McCann, author of Thing Music (Wave Books, 2014), I ♥ Your Fate (Wave Books, 2011), Moongarden (Wave Books, 2006) and Father of Noise (Fence Books, 2003).

Cori Bratby-Rudd's Cage of Eden is a beautiful testament to the chapbook form. Here, Bratby-Rudd's poems are elegant, beguiling, almost brutally thoughtful-yet touch and indicate, question, and trail away, leaving silences and vacancies for readers to populate with contemplations, realizations, and queernesses of their own.

-Ryka Aoki, author of Why Dust Shall Never Settle Upon This Soul, He Mele A Hilo, and Seasonal Velocities.
