About Mortal Geography:

"There is a haunting narrative purpose to this book, and these poems manage a true power and distinction in realizing it."
—Eavan Boland

"Funky and studied, Alexandra Teague is a formalist with a wild side. Read Mortal Geography line by plumb line, so you can hear it hit with bliss-stoked erudition its every adventure, prayer, address to dead and near, blood-soaked episode from history's hard-written transcripts, and ruined praise: there's a hum, a thunking heartwood, then a quiver. The range is geographical; the depth, sublime."
—Julie Sheehan
