This striking new collection explores identity, race, and history with a lively and intelligent music

Erasable Walls is a series of elegant personal meditations on the always evolving self. These beautifully crafted poems show a degree of mastery that's rare in a first book. Though quiet and subtle, Larsen's voice is also nervy and truth-telling, with considerable cumulative power.

The poet's sense of wonder is contagious whether she views the world from her seat on a train, from the window of her apartment, or from the streets of the city. Through a subtle, mediated surrealism, Moerling reins in the urban landscapes of New York, drawing the reader into her meditations on the temporal and the spatial, on language itself.
