Young's Woman Drinking Absinthe was launched last Saturday and has since been garnering rave reviews across the web.

Sukhonos brings her immense poetic and empathic talent to themes of motherhood and loss in her newest collection, A Stranger Home published by Moon Pie Press. She also draws a strong sense of place by exploring "locales ranging from Odessa to San Francisco."
