Francesca Kritikos explores the wilderness at the limits of lyric and indulges in the desolate. These poems are succinct with sharp edges. These poems are equally sterile and blood-soaked. These poems are asking you to pull them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"To read Kritikos’ work is to be confronted with the carnivorous reflection of our own intimacies. Underneath the stillness of the everyday rages the hunger of an unnameable need which can’t be satisfied. Before you even realise there’s ‘no way out’ of the poems, Kritikos will ‘just let you in deeper’ but never show all. You made it to the party but everyone is gone and there’s only scraps of meat left on all the plates. No matter how many times I chew these poems, I can never make them last long enough and though I am never left unsatisfied, I always want more.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e-Nick Ines Ward, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Burns Unit\u003c\/em\u003e (Salò Press, 2021) and the forthcoming \u003cem\u003eA Devotion of Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e (Spam Zine, 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFrancesca Kritikos is a Greek-American writer and editor based in Chicago.
