Raccoon

"Stylistically inventive, filled with humor and light word play, Cline-Tardiff delves into what it means to look at what is wild and unpredictable."
- Susan Kay Anderson, author of Mezzanine

"Set in the most ordinary of circumstances, with clear and succinct language, these poems are a meditation on how humans interact with the natural world."
- Su Zi

"Charge into Raccoon, where Karen Cline-Tardiff weaves a masterful narrative masking itself in the form of a serial poem - telling the existential struggle of woman versus the untamed force of nature."
- Yrik-Max Valentonis, author of 120 Days of Gomorrah, Cranium Theatre, and Short Stories Without Provocation.
