Praise for Bite Marks:

“Here in tingling verbs, are the noticed and unnoticed "bite marks" of a woman aging, of loss noticed in flesh, in body, in mirror, of body gouged, lashed and disappearing. In precise poems edged with grief, Heidi Seaborn inhabits and exposes, the self, the family, leading us to, in an almost perfect order of poems, a deepening forest of earth, of soul. These poems are beautifully written, perfectly on point, each poem a prism facet, glowing.” 

          ~ Veronica Golos, author of GIRL

“In Bite Marks, Heidi Seaborn lays bare the joys and trauma of midlife with an unabashed honesty that is a testament to the resilience of women…Heidi Seaborn’s Bite Marks is as much about aging and acceptance as it is about resolve and defiance. Often self-deprecating, always forthright, these poems are beautiful and earned!”

~Avayomi Animashaun, Comstock Review Editor

“In Bite Marks, Seaborn is not afraid to plunge straight into the taboo, whether it is menopause, women’s relationship to their beauty, or death looming, and she does so with a delightful cheekiness…”
