Winner of the inaugural Linda Nemec Foster First Book Award for Poetry
"A collection of thresholds and rooms, these are poems made of landscapes and objects and longings that seem to shimmer even in the half-lit house of grief. . . . Every place we enter feels charged and changed, haunted and blessed by the vision and care of such a poet. The world needs its true artists; Kakie Pate is one of them."
-Allison Seay, author of To See the Queen

"In a time when many poems adopt the tonal equivalent of clamor in an effort to be heard, along comes Kakie Pate's Under the Honey Locusts, a first book of understated lyrics that belie the urgency of their rich emotional depths. . . . At once painfully tuned to our 'unbelonging' and mindful that 'when the sun sets, / the light still remains, victorious, ' her poems read like messages etched in bark, so finely crafted they appear indelible having become part of the living tree."
-Daniel Tobin, author of Dusk, Empire: New and Selected Poems 1987-2024
