Reviews

"The richness of life & time as they happen to us in tiny explosions all the time are grasped and held up for us to view in her magnificent work." -- John Ashbery "One of the most interesting, exciting, and open experimental poets." -- Tom Clark - San Francisco Chronicle "Love and the seasons and the exigencies and opportunities of daily survival are the inevitable occasions of a body of work that is as radical as it is Horatian, able as little else is both to delight and instruct." -- Edwin Frank - Boston Review
