Judgment Day is rich with grace and insight.
Trade Review"Unswerving perspectives on beauty and pain—on age, and loss—give grace and surprise to each page…These intimate, moving, meticulously crafted poems will stay with the reader for a long time." -- Eavan Boland
"
Judgment Day, with formal virtuosity, explores food and its multiple cultural meanings, infuses a series of ekphrastic poems with history, often includes love lyric and elegy in one poem, gives us politically charged narratives of childhood and young womanhood in New York, and a wry and revolutionary look at an ageing body still desiring, desired, and in motion." -- Marilyn Hacker
