"Rena Priest addresses those who crave 'the meat of beasts with beets and leeks.' And while she insists that 'Nature makes you pay, ' her poems tell us that through a 'wistful song of sighs.' The world is not always comfortable, but her poems never 'lose touch with the fluidity of the spirit.' Patriarchy Blues is an amazing collection."--James Bertolino, author of Ravenous Bliss: New & Selected Love Poems

Wonderful!
New discovered poet (for me). Her words slip in as smoothly as a scalpel, expertly handled. Wow! Don’t let its length deceive you, there’s far too much for just an evening’s reading!

excellent works
Amazing book, incredible artist. She creates a productive and provocative critique of society but in a way that's accessible.
