“‘In July, Weeds Take Over the Garden’ [is a] beautiful poem about loss and change. So much is learned from what is not said (and only implied). Great use of a minimalist aesthetic and the enjambment of the lines works well as well. The last line about the raft being built to float on the river is a stunner. Beautiful work! Look forward to reading more from this new to me poet.”

“Where she writes “The seasons / are coming loose,” we caught a glimmer of what would become the present predicament; Rose’s work made us aware of the long-standing balance between our intrinsic connection to time, routine, and our understanding of things, and the impossible and absolute isolation we would face in days ahead–this poem an ode to the confusing role we play in this new era of human activity, dangers that we didn’t know abound.”
