Haiti Glass is her long-awaited first book and she is available for interview.Praise for Haiti Glass:"Haiti Glass is a magnificent collection of poetry and prose. Lenelle Moise's poems render the abstract- policy, disaster, history, diaspora- specific. The spoken word cadence to many of the poems works really well on the page.
