Atherton’s treatment of the prose poem in Leftovers creates a synæsthesia-like experience. Her inventive regard of ordinary things triggers a breadth of sensations and memories, blurring in and out of her real world and her other ‘real’ world of literary fiction.
Praise for Cassandra Atherton’s Writing
‘Cassandra Atherton’s prose poetry interweaves art and lived-life in the very best of ways.’
— Mark Yakich, New Orleans Review
