Trade Review
"The Phoenix Poets list contains a number of poets currently on my list of favorites. This is a strong, vital series which has given voice to some of the best voices in American poetry today." - Billy Collins "I am touched throughout by the limpid steadiness with which each poem refuses to be budged a hairsbreadth away from the feeling behind it. As exacting in its respect for etymology as is Dickinson herself, it is one of the very few books I would recommend to someone who wanted to know what the lyric poem can do that no other medium can." - James McMichael
