“Anna revels in beauty and sacredness, a testament to defiantly vowing to not live in fear. She writes of a new beginning, informed by tragedy but refusing to be defined by it: ‘We opened/ the windows of ourselves, sent the night out searching/ for our collective liberation like a raven/ for the end of the flood.’”

— Kara Lewis, Write Poetry
