Review

“In Making Way, Metelerkamp demonstrates once again her
unrivaled command of a poetry of movement and process. The reader
embarks on a series of intertwined journeys – from doubt to
understanding, from the past to the future, from continent to continent –
all of which is embodied in a poetry of breathtaking lyricism and
acute, unflinching perception.”
