Writing so visceral that the reader’s fingers itch for color, mouth spits, knows crawling inside, feet dodge sticky floor rattle and scuttle, and eyes watch green shoots grow taller, open, scenting the room like something wild, something wonderful. Exceptional window into the world of a precocious child who struggles to find hope in spite of a crazy ma,
steel-eyed grandma, and a father who dangles moments of beauty within the kid’s grasp only to snatch them away again.

The poems in Eve Rifkah’s One Kid, a Telling offer a compelling look at childhood through the long lens of time and mature wisdom. The pieces in this understated but powerful collection capture the tiny, ordinary tragedies of one family’s life, along with moments of grace that glow like sunshine breaking through the clouds.

Charles Coe - author, Memento Mori

Rifkah has created a fierce and unflinching collection of poetry. This is gut punch work. The language seems to be simple, but its sneaky and unexpected. I have always loved her work, but holy hell, this work is outstanding. It will take your breath away.
