Trade Review"Restless and serene, spirited and subdued...[Pastan’s] poems look at the drama and depth of ordinary life." -- Paris Review
"Not a dark book but one rich with supple humor and affirmation... by one of the most accomplished poets writing today." -- Library Journal
"Linda Pastan’s work appears to be a happiness shared with nature and personal relationships. All that, yes, yet it’s about what we’re in danger of losing. This is the kinetic quality of Pastan’s poetry, calmed by lyricism…I read this book as a meditation with its constant pulse, reminding us that the poet who never races with the clock has all the time she needs." -- Washington Independent Review of Books
"[Pastan] has the talent to blend seriousness and playfulness in a variety of forms and rhythms…Perhaps her finest accomplishment…she has given her readers a healthy series of reflective and life-changing poems—poems to enrich us." -- Missourian
