“This is an expert, engaging, and truly helpful guide for any student staring down the "mouth of hell" —the daunting college application essay process.”

—Katherine Ellison, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of "Buzz: A Year of Paying Attention.

“With Laurie Filipelli’s Girl Paper Stone we revel in a collection of lyric recuperations that simultaneously soothe and trouble, delight and disrupt as they marvel and lament at the fragility, wonder, and hurt of our daily lives, our dream lives, and the underground life of our divinations. What a great pleasure to find these poems—all at once in flight, grounded, on fire, and full of heart—elemental, beautiful, and indispensable.

—Cathy Bowman, Award-winning poet, editor, and professor at Indiana University’s MFA program

Here is a calendar full of long shadows, a guidebook of unlikely bursts of music, and we couldn’t ask for a better guide than this keenly perceptive, wry, plucky poet. In Laurie Filipelli’s Elseplace, as in Keats, we may not know if we wake or dream but that uncertain state blurs nothing, rather it clarifies the mysteries that are our befuddlements and salvations.

-Dean Young, Award-winning poet and former Chair of Poetry of the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin
