Another fine review for Killing the Murnion Dogs in the venerable Pleiades Review of Books! Near the end of the review, essayist and poet Nick Ripatrazone writes:

“Spiritual” and “A Prayer” tread new ground in the book’s final pages, and these lines feel both appropriate to the book as a whole and the particular, engaging aesthetic cultivated throughout: “But even in this joy I know enough / of pain and shame to say that’s all wrong: No one / deserves this world.”
