Description
"Reading Jules Nyquist is the equivalent of turning one street corner after another, because you never know what awaits you around the bend. It's not just the way she ends a line or stanza with chest emptying honesty or ferocity of wit, it's the potluck of human condition that you would find on any corner in downtown Minneapolis. Though I am a fan of "sticking the landing," of which Nyquist is a pro, some of my favorite moments in Behind the Volcanoes are the deft narratives of mortality and renaissance." Hakim Bellany, Inugrural Poet Laureate of Albuquerque.
