In her foreword to "Awayward," National Book Award-winning poet Jean Valentine writes, "Jennifer Kronovet's poems in "Awayward" are so surprising and compelling and beautiful, so intelligent and felt. Kronovet uses simple words and works at a mysterious depth, one we can enter with gladness."Written while Kronovet was living in Beijing, "Awayward" illuminates the sense of disconnect that travelers experience when their major touchstones of language and geography are altered.
