"Sara London's The Tyranny of Milk reminds me how vital Memory is/remains to poetry. Her poems go beyond nostalgia to reveal how 'memory wants more than it can keep.' They discard conceptual gimmicks and empty word play in the name of clear-eyed utterance. This debut achieves a clarity that is transcendent and humanizing and unforgettable." TERRANCE HAYES "Sara London's quirky, assured voice is at the heart of this book... Her poems reel us in with their unpredictable considerations and digressions. Here, odd subjects are adroitly turned in the light of the familiar, while the common and ordinary are rendered strange, their underbellies exposed... A distinctive, compelling book." CLEOPATRA MATHIS"
