There's a new TSE joining the ranks of English language poets. With Voices Through Skin, Theresa Senato Edwards establishes herself as a no-holds-barred chronicler of the gut-wrenching feelings of love, loneliness, loss, guilt, and sometimes, in the end, redemption. Only the most gifted poets can bring such searing insight into the darkest hidden corners of the human condition.

Like the idiosyncratic scars that mark each and every one of us, poem after poem of Theresa Senato Edwards' first collection, Voices Through Skin, is an opening through which words and images bleed as an essential part of healing. The result is a deeply human and original body of work.

A wonderful, disquieting sense of physicality to these poems. They convey the subtle and angular sensation of lived life. In one of my favorites, a child finds a notch on the corner of a door, and the touch of the notch carries the world. This poet knows how to end poems, too. She catches the breath. That's something rare.

Theresa your going to be a hard act to follow...SRP has my manuscript and I am sure I will hear in the next few weeks if it makes the cut...I am so nervous, I keep seeing bad things...hopefully I can learn from your work once I have it in hand. :)
Elizabeth,
