"..you think we need to have to/transmogrify into good women.." [Sonnet 50]

Everyone has that one friend that draws a crowd, drops knowledge, and is so deep, so logical and philosophical, that you find yourself nodding along, even if the subject matter leaves you in the dust. Nikki Wallschlaeger is that friend and "Crawlspace" is a book of poems (named sonnets and numbered from 1 to 55) that has the makings of being the next "little red book". Be prepared to stop, reread, and nod along. "Face me in your sonnets so I can permanently grieve.." [Sonnet 36]

Very intense. The poems create tight, cluttered, often emotionally charged spaces. Valuable commentary.
