      <image:caption>“Ten Questions for Devon Walker-Figueroa,” Poets &amp; Writers “One of the book’s final poems, “My Invention,” offers an apt metaphor for the Promethean daring of this second collection: In darkness, the poet sees herself carrying “my tune like a torch,” one held aloft even after the moths have lost interest. Walker-Figueroa suggests that such “shifty mechanisms” of light have enraptured poets and scientists in a shared project of collapsing time and distance. “My Invention” ranges from Li Bai holding a “dynasty of moonlight” to Nikola Tesla’s dream of a mechanical eye that will see all the world at once, the Earth being the “first poem it will commit / to memory.” Here and throughout Lazarus Species, Walker-Figueroa invites her readers to “See filament give way / To lament,” illuminating the proximity of invention and extinguishment, scientific discovery and poetic enchantment, an unstable past and a future eclipsed by climate change.” —Evangeline Riddiford Graham</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I know few compliments in contemporary poetry criticism quite as ubiquitous as breathlessly telling a poet no one else could write what you write. Ultimately, there’s no compliment quite as hollow: just because no one else could write what you write doesn’t mean that you should write that way either. So it’s a rare surprise when the compliment carries real weight, when a poem appears that’s at once the inimitable product of an idiosyncratic mind and a public good for poetry generally. Reading Devon Walker-Figueroa’s second collection Lazarus Species, I felt that surprise in poem after poem; you might feel it simply from hearing about it. No one but Walker-Figueroa would explore the long history of stargazing by rewriting Sir Philip Sidney’s sonnet sequence Astrophil and Stella as “Australopitheca &amp; Starman,” in which the Australopithecus afarensis fossil commonly nicknamed “Lucy” addresses the mannequin known as Starman, who’s currently orbiting the sun in Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster. No one but Walker-Figueroa would take the recent vogue for the sestina, a form that obsessively repeats the same six end-words, to its mind-numbing conclusion by writing a super-sized, seven-end-word variation called “The Euthanasia Coaster,” inspired by a hypothetical roller coaster that loop-de-loops its passengers into “euthanasia- / induced euphoria.” Walker-Figueroa’s excesses at every scale—her phoneme-braiding lines, her conceits stacked on conceits, this extravagantly long collection—mirror the intricacies she finds abundantly in natural biodiversity and human ingenuity. They’re also defense mechanisms in an inhospitable world, as in Walker-Figueroa’s title poem, named after species that return to life after apparent extinction: “You don’t even need to be born / again in order to be born against / this riddled wall, each bayonet in love / with your bare, stigmatic neck.” —Christopher Spaide, Literary Hub</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Devon Walker-Figueroa’s latest poetry collection Lazarus Species serves up an ambitious body of work sizzling with unique connections delivered at the speed of synaptic firing. Where else could you hope to find a prehistoric and futuristic reimagining of Sir Philip Sydney’s Petrarchan sonnet series “Astrophil and Stella”; footnote-layered deep dives into figures such as Jack Dempsey, Lawrence of Arabia, and Nikola Tesla; and layered examinations on speaking in tongues, sensual snails, arsenic-tinged serial killers, mathematic problems, or awkward business dinners? These intersections are only part of the reason that Lazarus Species might be best described as a museum-archive-meets-mycellium-network. With Walker-Figueroa’s erudite and unabashed sensibility, each subject and sonic phrase becomes a link for a myriad of allusions, associations, admissions, and astonishments.  The sprawling scope of Lazarus Species is tethered by the intimacy of its internal logic. Whether a poem is mapped along tributaries of traditional forms, driven by sonic qualities, shaped by theorems, or guided by the mental mechanisms of the speaker, a conscious intricacy is palpable throughout the collection.” —Claire Jussel, “On a Planet’s Calando Applause”: Diction, Decay, and Deep Dives in Devon Walker Figueroa’s Lazarus Species,” West Trade Review</image:caption>
