Kingdomland by Rachael Allen <b><br> PBS Spring Choice 2019 </b> Nancy Campbell In a recent comments sectionKingdomland is the debut poetry collection of Rachael Allen a writer of rare vision and flair. The world she creates is suffused with surreal images and uncanny incidents. Unexplained violences and strange metamorphoses take shape in the glowering dusk.
