“Lisa Hiton’s AFTERFEAST grapples with big stuffpainful history, gorgeous and fraught geographies, elusive sexual identityin an authentic, dauntless voice that lends to these large subjects a gripping intimacy. To read these poems is to stand among haunted ruins on ‘the hot slab of history,’ to witness different kinds of survival, how disappeared and durable spaces endure alike in time, and in a mind. I envy readers their first entry into the ripe world of this book. A stunningly mature debutsymphonic and bracing and profound.”Maggie Dietz
