Choose Your Own Beginning, by Amy Saul-Zerby

“Amy Saul-Zerby’s language is direct, beautifully clipped—a terseness that poem after poem swells into an expansive reckoning with depression, love, and, of course, the self. Insight, here, is hard-won. These memorable poems ripple with intimacies and linguistic pleasures. They will stay with you.”

Eduardo C. Corral, author of Guillotine

“Amy Saul-Zerby’s unforgettable new poetry collection is revelatory in its frankness and sexy in its cool detachment. Hungry, seductive, confessional, pithy, the intimacy of these poems is bracing and gorgeous.”

Richie Hofmann, author of A Hundred Lovers

“Choose Your Own Beginning is a collection of beauty, devastation, and deep resilience resonating through every poem.”

Ariel Francisco, author of Under Capitalism If Your Head Aches They Just Yank Off Your Head
