"Teri
Cross Davis has the courage to make this complex experience come to
life, to address it, to let her readers know what it feels like, and
to tell them she will go on, facing and giving life to a new level of
understanding that is seldom addressed." - Myra Sklarew, author
of Harmless
"Haint
is a book of life. Not a book of survival, though the poet survives,
not a book of reckoning, though the poet comes to terms with many
things. Haint is a book of choices, and witnessing. A book of
learning the bodies territories, pleasures and sorrows. A book that
constructs the irrepressible center of a soul, page by page, plank by
plank. A book a reader will put down after reading and mutter yes to
themselves, haunted." - Cornelius Eady
"Although
heartbreak is the origin of so many of these poems, it's love that
makes them go. Love to which they plead and aspire and pray." -
Ross Gay, author of Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
