Czaga is part of a new wave of poets who are picking up where the Imagists left off and bringing their aesthetic eye into contemporary verse. Balancing the natural world with the encroachment of urban/technological sprawl, Czaga is able to craft poems that speak to the beauty of living the world right now, at this very moment in time.

"Dunk Tank" celebrates the experience of growing up a part of Gen-Y in ways that I believe will bring in younger readers disenchanted with poetry due to their scholastic experience with the genre, while simultaneously creating a bridge with older generations to better understand this experience.

I really connected with this collection, being of the same generation as Czaga and having lived in many of the same places as her over the years. It felt a lot like going through my journal or Facebook timeline (if it were more poetically written!) remembering events and thoughts I had forgotten, putting me right back in those moments.

The free-verse was well-constructed and I'm excited to see where Czaga will go as a writer and poet.
