Kindra M. Austin Reviews Kristiana Reed’s Between the Trees
"My reflection in the train window settles between the trees beyond the glass lining the field of gold." In itself, the opening of the title poem speaks of forlorn reluctance, wishes, and wonders.

Kindra M. Austin’s Constant Muses is a eulogy, a message of comfort and a warrior cry By: Mariah Voutilainen Upon opening Kindra M. Austin’s Constant Muses, I was immediately taken with the noir-y feel of her poetry. As Austin’s opening piece suggests, it is “eternally October” in the world that she paints with her rich verse. Skies are … Continue reading Book Review: Kindra M. Austin’s Constant Muses, by Mariah Voutilainen
