"Camille Dungy has a garden of verses that spring up with the
sunshine or hide with you in the dusk. "Cleaning" best sums up What
to Eat, What to Drink, What to Leave for Poison, an amazing poetry
collection, when Dungy pens "understanding clearly/what is fatal to
the body./I only understand too late/what can be fatal to the
heart." Take an ice tea and sit on the veranda or take a glass of
wine and prop up in bed but whatever way you like your poetry, this
book is a must." —Nikki Giovanni, author of The Collected Poems
of Nikki Giovanni and Black Feeling, Black Talk "The sorrow here is
ironic and unsentimental and yet Camille Dungy's vision is all joy.
Even as anti-psalms, these poems are pure transcendence." —Chris
Abani, author of GraceLand and Dog Woman "Camille Dungy shares with
us in this manuscript her sharp, clear and honest ear and her
unswerving commitment to the voice of life. She is a brave poet
writing true poems and I salute the music and courage of her work."
—Lucille Clifton, author of Blessing the Boats and Mercy
