A tasty Thai dinner with some N.C. poets before my reading at Appalachian State University in their Guest Writers’ Reading Series.

by Kristina Marie Darling in American Literary Review:

“…what I find most impressive about Dentz’s book is her stylistic precision, as even the smallest technical choices within her work have social, political, and ethical implications.”

door of thin skins is short-listed for Utah’s 13 Bytes Ma1gazine‘s poetry book prize:

“In Dentz’s fever dream of abuse in a patient/doctor relationship, the typographical and prose poetry mirrors the disintegration of the confused mind of the patient in a tour de force that is as curiously ennobling as it is shocking.” Read more here.
