Purgatory Has An Address is an ode to the poetry of place and how this poetry weaves itself into the heart of the people who are both inhabitants and the place itself... To create the self becomes a soft balance between what is known about the past, what is unknown and the power to piece together our own stories...
--Allyson Jeffredo, author of Songs After Memory Fractures.

Published December 11, 2015
Washington’s book of poetry zeros in on the unique challenges women face in our modern world, and does it with unwavering strength.
​- Brit Middelton, BET Editor
[Like] Lucille Clifton... Romaine's lyrical voice unmasks the hard truths of our human condition, particularly the oppression of women, through her unique use of diction, syntax, and extraordinary imagery, which engages the intellect and speaks to the soul of her readers.
​- Dr. Catherine Humphrey, IAWP UCR Fellow
