Trade Review
"Sprinkled with philosophical inquiries and Zen koans like that of the title, Spires's contemplative sixth collection opens with delicious wordplay." -- The New York Times Book Review
"A Memory of the Future by Elizabeth Spires is like a cup of tea for the weary. . . [Spires's] metaphysical concerns are grounded in refreshingly thoughtful poems as the speaker considers small moments through a spiritual, often Zen perspective." -- Elizabeth Lund - The Washington Post
