“Riley splits words apart and arranges them in counterpoint to create a singular music, an effect that reminded me of cracking open a geode to reveal its secret inner glittering.
Readers of these poems will enter a fully formed world, with its own characters, myths, chorus, and repetitions.
Sonically and emotionally complex, Heard-Hoard is a collection to treasure and return to.”
