Here From Somewhere Else

December 21, 2015

 

Winner, 2015 Turtle Island Quarterly Editor’s Choice Chapbook Award.

 

“Judith Arcana’s gorgeous new collection, has movement at its core. Many of these poems are fueled by questions—questions that generate a powerful urgency and contribute to the book’s compelling internal momentum.” According to Jennifer Richter, author of the poetry collections Threshold and No Acute Distress, “Here From Somewhere Else, Judith Arcana’s gorgeous new collection, has movement at its core. Many of these poems are fueled by questions—questions that generate a powerful urgency and contribute to the book’s compelling internal momentum. A curious voice and generous heart guide us through Arcana’s geographical and emotional landscapes; I was delighted but not surprised that here, love gets the very last word.”
