Unfinished Child is personal and potent and, above all, markedly original. The poet has infused grief with an emotional imagination, and built an innovative narrative on an elegiac understructure. Its forays into memory are like nothing else. Unfinished Child is an extraordinary work of art. It will challenge and delight you. Marvin Bell

In “leaflight, earthlight,” JoAnn Balingit composes poems that forage beautifully to find what will suffice. — Arthur Sze, author of The Redshifting Web and The Ginkgo Light JoAnn Balingit’s Forage is a passionate and heartbreaking collection. Often grounded in the natural world, Balingit’s lush imagery and sure music reverberate throughout these poems. Her prosody is as crisp and unflinching as Sylvia Plath’s in lines like “my mother glints like a polished shield.” I am smitten by this small collection of poems that explodes from a huge heart foraging through a complex family history (Filipino/ Anglo) punctuated by misunderstanding, loss and struggle, and arriving at what we call love, then finally, grace. — Pamela Uschuk, author of Crazy Love
