Heather Sellers, The Boys I Borrow (New Issues Press, 2007).
"In a world in which people speak in clichés and platitudes, Heather Sellers’ stunning new collection of poems The Boys I Borrow, transcends the quotidian events of our day. I’ve read novels that have not developed relationships between people in marriage as well as this. In poems that deftly insert lyric moments in narrative poems, she uncovers the nuances of infertility, a new marriage and the changes in life before and after all of the above. If you know anything about the difference between desire and love and the realities that blur between them, if you’ve lived any life at all you’ll 'remember, you have lived this way, always hungry' for more." -A. Van Jordan
