Really powerful group of poems. I love how he uses speculative language to talk about current events.

This poem is like a wonderous how-to of what you can do with a folktale figure. Really enjoyed this--the quiet horror.

Enjoyed the many fresh images in this poem and loved that the baby broke her finger in the end.

There is a Baba Yaga restaurant in Tel Aviv. Old times there are not forgotten.

Read Nick's interview and found out there are more Baba Yaga poems. I can't wait to read the rest, as I enjoyed reading this one so much.

Favourite line: "the gutters burped roaches with every rain"
