"[a go] by Gabrielle Joy Lessans (Ornithopter Press, 2022) is a spellbinding labyrinth of moss, salt, and starry wombs. As Lessans meditates among the reeds, skips stones with beloveds, and witnesses "jewels of human contact," (48) we watch her fall in love with life's brilliance and shadow. [a go] calls currents of light among the detritus of crumbling ecosystems and veins of raw stone. With sharp language, Lessans pierces a hole in the strata, mapping "a golden trace of our orbit." (23)
​. . . At once an ariato home and hearth, [a go] is also a symphony for the cosmos within our bones, an exploration of interior topography—gorges and glaciers of memory. These poems are stratified and unending; there's no beginning or finale, yet we find comfort in the stir and sway."
