Forms of Conversion
Forms of Conversion
Allison Funk
”The clarity of Allison Funk’s forms of conversion is in their care—the patience and proportion of their declaration. They have not arrived at the page in haste. They are convicted in fact, by an affection not easily earned, but thoughtfully given. Their directness is at the heart of their integrity, their economy a way of establishing value. These are poems to the point, beautifully made, deeply felt.”

Additional Praise:
