Selections from Winter Stars Visible In December

In a clever cross-pollination of astrology and literature, Winik’s poems make a disturbance on the page that dares to linger in the mind. She is an assured creator interrupting the neat contours of genre by weaving the dissonant dialectics of the confessional, historiographical, theoretical, and the memorial between the cosmos and the terrestrial. The collection here is realized in its emotional soundings, gesturing to, phrase by phrase, the fluid coordinates of chance that encompass living in a world of loss, inheritance, and artifice.
