What others are saying about Greco’s Everywhere Green and Scorch Marched:

“Imagine a great / being shedding / pieces of itself / every cell essential / every cell a wonder”—and you will have a Katrina Greco poem. This wondrous debut highlights one of poetry’s great paradoxes: the cellular smallness of the form, with all its confines and interiorities, is the very space where language is most relational, expansive, and given to renewal. The effluvia of an attentive life shimmers everywhere in this book, in deft lyric poems that reveal a rare appreciation for the textures of the material world and word. Everywhere Green and Scorch Marked is a vital poetry of the body that, at the same time, shatters the illusion of a singular self. It fundamentally insists that “no body is/really a body,” a commitment to ecopoetics that propels the personal into the collaborative, interpersonal. This work, from its perch in California, restlessly explores possibilities for a more tender existence on a traumatized planet—not in sweeping generalities, as so often is the case, but by pressing into particulars with, at times, a supersensory intensity: “hear ants /slide in the wounded rock.” At this level of perception, anything can happen. The poet can give birth to a pond, sail poems on its surface, enter the water, let it close over her body---so that all who read may also be immersed in that water of what is still other, what is still possible. There is no way to come out unchanged. These poems will scatter and recombine you.”

-Michelle Gil-Montero, publisher, Eulalia Books, author of Object

Permanence. 

“Greco's debut collection of poems, Everywhere Green and Scorched Marked, is built with short lines that read thickly, as if the lines were a syrup of intimacy for the reader to sip. Couched in the realm of goddesses, mythical beings and Californian landscapes, the speaking agent is both welcoming to the impact of their emotive powers and aware that the moments of feeling are a mystical experience. The speaker zooms in on the body in a luscious and surreal manner, "I pull teeth/ out of my arm/ the part where I/ am undercooked." Digest this book like the meal that it is: "sweet and plummy."

-Sara Mumolo, author of Day Counter
