To quote Carmen Gimenez Smith, "In Instrument of Gaps, Felicia Zamora opens new windows into the idea of the speaker in poems of passion, of prayer, and of hope. In her work, 'to believe in combustion we must believe in embers,' and she brings this to bear in a history of capturing life inside memory. Zamora marries a sharp diction with a transcendental power to enact the dynamic interplay between what is inside and what is outside the lyric in this thrilling third collection from Zamora."
