Klein’s brilliant collection will resonate with readers who feel enraged and gaslit by a regime actively deceiving the populace and a nation cowed to subservience. William Nicholson wrote, “We read to know we are not alone,” and the powerful urgency of Klein’s exemplary verse serves as a much needed reminder that we have voices we must dare to employ in the face of an era of such injustice.
