About Mayweed:

"This is Frannie Lindsay's book of praise, but the praise we find here is no simple matter. This book brims with stern clarities, rich emotional textures, and the beauty that Wallace Stevens said death was, ultimately, the mother of."
—Fred Marchant

"We can't escape heartbreak. So Lindsay persuades us, with gentle wit and startling metaphors, that it's better to grasp that stinging nettle, resolutely and on purpose. Doing so, she arrives at an astonishing place beyond judgment, where 'nothing now/is kind or cruel.' This is grace."
—Patrick Donnelly
