Inside Kate Hargreaves stunning new book, words bite and yawn and
breathe the page, chipping away at the dictionary, diagnosing the
alphabet. A tour de aperture, these poems will leak from your
tongue into your brain, gushing pleasure: pleasure: pleasure:
pleasure. -- Nicole Markotić, author of Bent at the Spine
With deliberate caprice, Kate Hargreaves executes, deranges,
disentangles, fractures, accidenting language into dazzling
constellations. -- Rosemary Nixon
Leak is an exciting poetic debut which performs a relentless and
passionate anatomy through syntax that spills, kicks, craves,
bloats, sheds, and spits. Hargreaves reminds us that, for worse and
for better, parts of speech and speaker tend to gurgle beyond their
notional grammars. Read it and gush. -- Susan Holbrook, author of
Joy Is So Exhausting
