Praise for Sleepwalker, poetry chapbook:
"Sleepwalker is a moving poetic tribute to Linda Sienkiewicz’s late son, Derek. Resolute, lyrical, and unflinching, these poems are informed by profound loss even as they pulse with a mother’s capacious love. A brilliant and devastating account of parenthood as the junction where both our greatest gifts and our greatest fears sometimes converge."
~Kelly Fordon, author of Goodbye Toothless House
"In Sleepwalker, Linda Sienkiewicz writes with tenderness, clarity, and breathtaking vulnerability about her eldest son, who took his own life...I admire these poems deeply. I wish they did not have to be written."
~Kathleen McGookey, author of Instructions for My Imposter
