NOR Reviews Gog

Andrea Syzdek, in a review published by the New Orleans Review, writes a glowing review of Gog. She writes, “Gog is a lyrical, hard-hitting first book. Brandi George’s courageous balancing act between the real and the fantastical, empowerment in the midst of gender and class oppression, and rhetorical instincts turns each poem into an emotionally and technically-sound marvel. Gog embodies the beauty and terror of survival with line after line that proclaims: ‘that is how we feed / the ones we love, without a sound and when we can.'”
