""Sorting through the wreckage of personal and collective history, Ankle-Deep In Pacific Water neutralizes what might otherwise haunt and destroy. Hughes does the work of all great poets: holds the truths of love and pain, letting both live in the light."" —Kemi Alabi, author of Against Heaven ""Hughes looks with clear-eyes at human frailty and failure, asks questions that lead readers to ponder their own archives of memory. Poignant, vividly imagined, and wise, Hughes’ Ankle-Deep In Pacific Water reminds us that “we can’t dwell on the past. . .God will turn us to salt if we look back at everything we’ve lost or never had.” —Janice N. Harrington, author of Yard Show ""This is family shoved into the glaring light of memory, where a troubled lineage is laid bare in tender, audacious lyric. So many writers are terrified to trouble the past and risk unearthing themselves. That’s a terror Hughes has conquered in this pained and imperative work."" —Patricia Smith, author of Unshuttered: Poems
