"The poems of Lifeline are deliciously alive, even while mercilessly dissecting trauma and loss. Givhan's searing imagery and candor depicts womanhood in its most raw and honest form—as a gritty mosaic of fractured ghosts held together by blood and resistance." — Rachel McKibbens, author of Into The Dark & Emptying Field
