"In Circassian Girl, Michelle Mitchell-Foust avows just how it is that miracles shelter in mishap, that enormity makes its home among the small and in small syllables. Here is a beautifully sustained advocacy of tender perils, a high-wire act of perfect words. These poems dazzle me." —Donald Revell
