If One of Us Should Fall by Nicole Terez Dutton
Winner of the 2011 Cave Canem Poetry Prize
Nicole Terez Dutton's fierce and formidable debut throbs with restless beauty and a lyrical undercurrent that is both empowered and unpredictable. Every poem is unsettling in that delicious way that changes and challenges the reader. There is nothing here that does not hurtle forward.
