Praise for Relief

“Much has been said against sentimentality, but as in Li-Young Lee's important volume Rose, Alex Gallo-Brown wields sentiment and sincerity as if they are weapons with which he protects the very heart of his poems. These poems honor the wandering mind and all of its musings. What a lovely collection this is!”

— Jericho Brown
