“Mother, spouse, teacher, citizen: it’s easy for life to pull us away from art, but Ingrid Keriotis reminds us we might be drawn toward it just as insistently. Everywhere in her collection, It Started with the Wild Horses, we find a longing to stall time, so we might remember other selves we’ve left behind, or selves we’ve overlooked, so we might recall ‘what was good in the world,/and where it could be found.’ In both elegy and celebration, her acts of seeing are acts of empathy, broadcast in all directions.”
—Christopher Bakken, author of Eternity & Oranges
