Award-winning poet Stacy R. Nigliazzo is a nurse who served the Houston community in the emergency department over the course of five COVID-19 surges. My Borrowed Face, her third collection, chronicles two years in extremis; grackle-eyed,
nettles in my hair // through my skin, while gifting readers a glint of the frantic, fractured world of a frontline nurse battling lungs aflame // with ground glass and discarded faces in every lampblack corridor. And yet, mercifully and faithfully, her resiliency and resolve shine through, never letting us fall, or forget.
