"Crystal Ignatowski's Rabbit Hole is a two-pronged exploration of its title-the "rabbit hole" is both the endless deep dive into a history and also an Alice in Wonderland-esque entrance into another realm. The speaker of these poems fluctuates between feeling small in moments of shame and feeling large in her remembrance, and in the contrast Ignatowski demonstrates the allure of escaping, how returning to the site of harm might return some of the power we've lost. But sometimes, we go down the rabbit hole because of our need for the familiar; comforts yes, but the old pains we know, too."

Taylor Byas, author of I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times (2023)

"How we name ourselves and how we tell stories, how we cannot stay the same, no matter what befalls or uplifts us, how we bend - these are the emotional tenets of Crystal Ignatowski's Rabbit Hole. The poems herein challenge their speakers and their readers to let go, beginning in the shimmering 'uterus of a diamond' and chasing some version of salvation as light or lineage, as men, as vices, as beauty even, given to us whether we accept it or not. From the absinthe-tinted daydream of the title poem, to the pastoral reverie of 'Quiet Spaces, ' the wistful laments of 'Never Have I Ever' and 'Silo, ' Ignatowski's artful lines and lingering images seek both understanding and determination that the journey down, into and through is worth it. And here, in these brilliant poems, it is." Ben Kline, author of It Was Never Supposed to Be and Dead Uncles
