Leave Me a Little Want
“I love this book and its urgent attention to language and form in the “treacherous province” of our current times. Burch never turns away from the coexistence of the beautiful and the bloody, the tedious and the risky, and so I not only trust her, but feel jolted awake.”
-Julia Levine, Ordinary Psalms
Latter Days of Eve
“Written at the edge of 'blossoming disaster' and uncertain survival, the ancient and contemporary moment are exquisitely braided, and through this seer’s eye, this most skillful poet’s hand, she helps us remember how 'always, the world’s egg breaks open.' A stunning work."

How a Mirage Works
“Over and over, the world is rendered in the most exacting of visual details. But it isn’t just the world that is scrutinized. Even individual words, like rejection, must withstand this poet’s particular gaze : … This is a fine and well-wrought collection of poems that reward with each and every reading.”
