You can find the full text here, but the closing paragraph is below. 

“Fitting for a collection that is hyperaware of the natural world and is rife with images of fields, mountains, barnyard animals, woods, birds, and bees, the poems in Darren C. Demaree’s As We Refer to Our Bodies seem to grow and move in unison as an organic body. When taking each rounded stone of a poem and cobbling them together, the work takes on the feel of something alive. The sequences have a heartbeat that quickens and calms, a breath that is at times shallow, at other times deep and even. Whether meandering slow and pastoral, or pacing darkly gothic, Ohio and Emily permeate each poem, omnipresent with “her forgiving, confused skies” (65).”

“Emily As the Salt Began in a Star’s Shape” has been accepted for publication by The Vehicle.

“Emily As the Length of My Gaze” and “Emily As Almost Illuminated” have been accepted for publication in the next release from The Round.

“Emily As A Shadow Folded Four Times” has been accepted for the next release from The Vehicle.

“We Are Arrows #94”, “We Are Arrows #95”, and “We Are Arrows #96” have all been accepted for the 2014 release from the Homestead Review.

The lovely people from Prick of the Spindle have nominated “Emily As the Sun Is So Bright…” for a Pushcart Prize.  You can find the poem, published earlier this year, right here.
