"Geography V tells a story of the dissolution of love with exquisite, poetic precision. Heartbreaking and eloquent, Emma Bolden writes beautifully and fearlessly about loss of innocence and trust, as well as love, personal authenticity, and resilience."
-Julianna Baggott

"Geography V is a cartographical record of the heart as it goes up in flames. The lyricism and humor are as exquisite and berserk as love itself. I reached the last page and turned promptly back to the first. The words and distances expanded me on the inside. When I read any of Bolden's work, I forget to eat, to sleep, to get off the plane. After I read her, there is a part of me that hungers, goes sleepless, and never lands.
-Hannah Dela Cruz Abrams

"Bolden is a cartographer of the heart, and Geography V is a roadmap across the interior-of a broken relationship, a complicated past and a woman you can't help but fall in love with."
-Chantel Acevedo
