Praise for Letting Go Of Me...
First books are always exciting because it takes years, sometimes decades, for a writer to feel they've finally written enough well enough to have a book, and so by the time they convince themselves and someone else they have done just that, they have. In this book, Maeve Fox certainly has, providing luscious details of a life lived and felt deeply: grits and butter, crazy-ass birds, man cards, houses larger on the inside, kudzu, flowered dresses, and all one might need to feel and understand the love, loss, appreciation, growth, continuity, change and acceptance conveyed by these poems.
-Scott Owens, author of eventually: haiku and An Augury of Birds
Maeve Fox takes the trans experience into the Appalachians, wraps the pride flag around a hot bowl of grits (with butter!), and practices a hard earned self-acceptance and self-love that rural LGBTQ+ people need now more than ever. She has set her table with all the mismatched dishes and mason jars and memories, and invited us all to join her there, sit, and share a meal of poetry. Accepting her invitation will leave the reader all the richer for having done so.
-Jay Orlando, author of A Tangled Lineage
