At NVR, Mary Grace Mangano (@MG_Mangan0) reviews Jane Zwart's debut poetry collection (@OrisonBooks).
"Like the seashell brought back from the beach vacation...Zwart has collected what amazes her, but is also mindful that all lives come to an end."
Many thanks to Amit Majmudar at @MarginaliaROB for this compelling interview with Jane Zwart!
