Praise
“Swan Hammer is the kind of wild, hungry, ebullient, insolent, playful, sorrow-struck, yawping book of poems you did not know you needed until you notice the heap of rust at your feet knocked from the hinges on the door to your heart. And your heart peeking out and opening its mouth to sing along, and sing along, with Graber’s beautiful song.”
—ROSS GAY, winner of a 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley TuftsPoetry Award for Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
