Praise for this book
"Fiercely imaginative, these heart-wrenching, lyric narrative poems are haunted by the body as a depository for trauma, the body with cancer, the body with MS, the body cut open and sacrificed, teaching us that grief comes from love while transforming us with exquisite and beautiful language that is simply breathtaking."--Judy Jordan
"To love means opening one's soul to the possibility of heartbreak. Enthralling all the way through, Thunderhead reads as a testament to passion itself--an invitation to recognize the bond between suffering and intense desire."--Barrelhouse
"Gorgeous and devastating. . . . The combination of historical, mythographic, and real-while-invented female figurations offers a compelling and creative approach to bestowing Cole's never patronizing life-lessons with respect to loss, gender, and disablement. This book is teaching without didactics. . . . Cole's book as a crip feminist work is evocative not only of Chopin's nocturnes, but of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition, ' including its own uniquely shifting transcripts, bold captions, and vivid image descriptions."--Diane R. Wiener, Wordgathering
