  • “Four Fields is such a searing book, haunting in its vocabularies of revelations and withholdings. Here language becomes surgical instrument and arsenal, suture thread and root shovel, tabernacle and apiary, a 'mute weight/inside an asylum of flesh' as well as trigger that sets 'the tongue to toll.'”

    Mihaela Moscaliuc, author of Cemetery Ink

  • "The poems in this powerful collection stitch together timeless and modern idioms to foreground the horrors and joys of being human, how we are taken apart but also how we put ourselves back together again through language."

    Caroline Hagood, author of Weird Girls

  • "This collection creates 'a lifeline' between the speaker and her family, between the living and the dead, between land and sky, science and theology. Through poems of illness and sometimes trauma, and certainly of loss, Wegener always points us to beauty, mystery, caretaking, and human love in its awkward yet comforting messiness."

    Tara Bray, author of Small Mothers of Fright
