It is a rare delight to read poems so finely made, word by word, line by line. Hibernaculum is a welcome debut " - Eric Pankey, author of Trace: Poems /// "Hibernaculum gathers together some of Sarah E.

If you read one poetry collection this year, Hibernaculum should be it." -- Erzebet YellowBoy, editor of Cabinet des Fees and author of Sleeping Helena /// "Straddling the realm of ordinary domestic spaces and dark fairytale forests, Sarah Colonas Hibernaculum harbors lovely things inside intricate spaces and slender lyrics, creating a stunningly beautiful debut, filled with lockets and envelopes, tiny trinkets and winter landscapes." --Kristy Bowen, author of girl show
