About Correspondence:

"I challenge any reader not to come out of reading this book a little wiser and a little less sure of knowledge."
—Sasha West

"In Correspondence, Priscilla Frake takes the reader through an ever-changing internal landscape, darkly beautiful and fierce, jagged and luminous, a place of multiple voices and nothingness: underground, underwater, in fire and in air. The notion of correspondence—letters and postcards exchanged between the poet and her deepest subconscious, texts between Jung and Lao Tzu—structures the book, but Frake's poems also demonstrate the correspondence between not only her mind and its internal landscape, but the correspondence between apparent opposites—'In nothing/ you are everything: spiraling/ arms of rosy explosions,/ the pulse and bang and ferment/ of stars'—and between poet and reader. Her poems invite us to experience her journey as ours, to embrace our shared darknesses, to 'embrace the worthless and the worthy/ with the same love.' We correspond and willingly follow."
—Laurie Clements Lambeth
