"Reading
Heather Sellers' new book of poems, I am by turns dazzled, harrowed,
fascinated, afraid, and then my mouth falls open coming upon an image or a
phrase so lovely and unexpected that I have to close my eyes and let it
surround me. Field Notes from the Flood Zone is a
book so spectacularly original that you don't just read these poems, you
steep yourself in them. What a triumph!"
