Praise for A Throat Full of Forest Dirt:
"Stokes makes use of splendid, vivid imagery that evokes a sense of wonder and universal engagement with these poems. A Throat Full of Forest-Dirt is a punchy and engaging collection of poetry that delves into a thought-provoking duality between envy and desire, loving and longing, the natural world around and the ruminations within." - A.R. Arthur
"...a fantastic exploration of the author's emotions of envy and desire twined with mythology and nature, ripe with melodic stanzas that speak to the soul. The collection must be read more than once." - Amanda C.
"A Throat Full of Forest-Dirt is an imagery-packed chapbook that beautifully intertwines religion, legend, and spiritual calling. A great poetic read!" - Samantha Terrell
