About Yours, Creature:

"Cuello's Yours, Creature showcases the versatility of the epistle as a vessel of longing, ode, and biography. In these pages, the reader is passenger on Mary Shelley's devastatingly complex and triumphant journey. This work whirs with lyricism as it poetically bridges the gap between research, imagination, and tribute."
—Airea D. Matthews

"Not only a meeting of minds, but also a meeting of hearts, lives, and imaginations links Mary Shelley and Jessica Cuello. Urgent and original, gripping and shocking, thoroughly research-based and deeply intuitive: surely this captivating collection of illuminating epistolary strangeness is exactly what Shelley might have wished a poet of our time to write about her."
—Annie Finch
