​"With poems that shimmer like roadside heat, With Her Hair on Fire maps the liminal spaces between domestic ritual and personal rebellion, where solitude is sensual and mid-life love is the belt of a cinched-tight arm. The mechanics of these poems are humming. Christy Prahl understands the absurd majesty of primates with egos in a world where no one quite connects the way they should and yet—everything plugs into everything else." - Amy Baskin, author of Skull and Night Hag
