"With this collection of poems and stories spanning generations, Christine 'Cinnamon Girl' Green’s first book, Sweet Tooth, offers a potent and haunting examination of romance, grief, trauma, heartbreak, and the chutes and ladders of the human condition."
—Michael Benson, author of Mosquito Point Road, The Age of Zodiac, and The Devil at Genesee Junction
"Like the tastiest of chocolates, Christine Green's marvelous little book can be devoured in one sitting. In Sweet Tooth, seemingly disparate memories build a lyrical mosaic, from California to Rochester, NY, and plumb the depths of all that makes us human: life and death, youth and age, love and loss. Green writes with the hard-earned wisdom (and humor) of someone who has weathered life's earthquakes, literal and figurative. Though it's a short book, Sweet Tooth will stay with you long after you put it down."
--K.E. Semmel, author of The Book of Losman
