Tectonic Tongues/Lenguas Tectonicas

Stephanie Sherman’s Tectonic Tongues is an arrestingly good collection. By turns ferocious and meditative, savage and tender, angry and elegiac, these poems demonstrate not just a remarkable emotional and intellectual range, but a true poet’s sensitivity to and delight in language. From the battlegrounds of the erotic to the contested space between cultures to the unexpected beauty of the world, Sherman’s explorations are penetrating, vivid and original. --Gary Kamiya
