You've gotten some great features (the P&W interview, the Khmer Life feature, etc, etc) and some awesome reviews. Here are some reviews I'd like to highlight: 

The Rumpus's Most Anticipated Books 2020 

The Millions's Most Anticipated Books Feb 2020 

Ms. Magazine's Must Read Books 2020

BOMB Magazine's Must Read Books

“Sok’s reflective debut teases out how the trauma of the Khmer Rouge is remembered and retained in the fabric of the country and within her own family… Weaving the threads of her family’s stories, history, place, and identity, these poems glimmer with strength and presence.” —Publishers Weekly

 “...an unflinching look at the Cambodian genocide in the 1970s.” — Poets & Writers 

“An unsettling, powerful, important debut.” —Booklist

“In a world in which genocides, the likes of which Cambodia lived through are being forgotten, this is important work, as lived in as a face… Sok honors [her elders] here with the acute, protective tenderness of her gaze, the risks she takes in imagining her way into their lives.” —Literary Hub

“The poet is able to offer quiet wisdom without sentimentality. Ultimately this poet refuses to surrender to victimhood. The chapbook ends optimistically in the borough of Brooklyn, where the young speaker lives happily, sometimes seen in the neighborhood eating bagels with friends and writing new poems. She has found her way to ‘the healing fields.’” ―Marilyn Chin

“Sok never lets up, her detailed sense creating almost constant suspense and tension in this collection. A significant new voice.” —The Millions

“Through poetry, Monica Sok processes her family’s experiences of the Khmer Rouge, immigration and the Cambodian diaspora with mythical, tender reflection.” —Ms. Magazine

“In this stunning book, Sok’s speaker explores a broad range of poetic forms… This collection is grounded by striking imagery that moves between past and present, allowing both the speaker and the audience to construct memory—and with these constructions, we get the full confrontation the collection embodies.” —Split Lip Magazine

“Sok weaves together a remarkable collection wrought with memories of those who are alive but not living and those who are dead but not yet gone.” —New York Journal of Books

“Sok masterfully weaves together the skeins of narratives left fragmented by the legacy of war, trauma, and diaspora with a skillful hand, moving fluidly between past and present; Cambodia and Pennsylvania. Together, the poems in this debut collection comprise a whole cloth that is by turns tender and unflinching…” —Lantern Review
