- Sharon Mesmer, Polish-American poet, fiction writer, essayist and professor of creative writing

Greatness surrounds Melissa Cabrera when she attends classes at Bronx Community College.

"Chavisa Woods' Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country is part Flannery O'Connor, part Kelly Link: darkly funny and brilliantly human, urgently fantastical and implacably realistic."
