"The impact of the whole is one in which the elegance of craft provides compressed containers for histories and feelings that would otherwise be unmanageable in their immensity, a treasure in paper money always on the verge of going up in smoke."
 
—Diane Seuss,
author of frank: sonnets and Modern Poetry 
 
 
"Winshen Liu's poems examine peaches for ripeness and, with the magic only the best writers can conjure, finds a way to measure our own grief, hunger, poverty, and desire. These poems are a balm for anyone with an achy heart or an empty wallet. Winshen Liu is a staggering writer."
