Praise for Every State Has Its Own Light:

“Sandra Storey’s new book, Every State Has Its Own Light, is visceral, unflinching, generous, lively, and funny…Here is a poet committed to all the possibilities of the imagination.” – John M. Anderson

“This book is a magic show of sight, sound, and subtle intellection that ‘cups the sweet rabbits/fresh from the hat.’ You’ll find here poems suffused with the joy of living, spoken by a mature voice that draws attention to the world instead of to itself…Storey confronts her world head on, but she’s not afraid to also show us another side, one that is tenderly attentive, treating ‘…everything I hold/as if it might break.’ Every State Has Its Own Light is a radiant collection of poems. Open it and you will come under its spell.” – Mark Pawlak

“In Every State Has its Own Light Sandra Storey includes a poem called ‘Love Song for the Planet.’ But that, in fact, is really what the entire collection is, with its minutely observed details of tides created by ‘the moon’s longing for an ocean,’ scraps snipped away to shape a paper cut silhouette, the glorious and flawed universe she sees around her. Storey watches the world’s magic show with rapt attention and deep tenderness, reminding us, ‘love-love love… forgive, forgive/forgive.’” – Ellen Steinbaum
