About See the Wolf:

"In lines both disruptive and alluring, See the Wolf startles us back into the skin of our adolescent selves. With sonic panache and sleight of hand, Sousa makes perfume out of the hypnagogic fears that permeate our girlhoods: the fear of being stolen and the fear of being abandoned, the fear of being trapped and the fear of being eaten alive, the fear that 'one's limbs don't belong to the body.' These poems dazzle and sear, rocketing through the dark expanse of our collective girlhood. It's scary stuff, but so gloriously lit that we stare when we know we should be running away."
—Karyna McGlynn
