“Rachel Sahaidachny builds a devastating narrative. Her speaker’s simple, childlike voice is unsettling in contrast to the gravity of the subject matter—a mother’s mental illness. “What kind of home is it where children daydream/ about being pets,” she asks. “My sister wanted to be a cat/ I jumped around the house gnawing on cabbage/ My nickname was bunny/ She got skinny I got fat.” There is as much power in what Sahaidachny withholds as in what she gives us on the page.” –Rachel Marie Patterson and Dara-Lyn Shrager, Editors of Radar Poetry.
