Trade Review
"This feels like the book we've been waiting for: rigorous, generous, in love with the art of poetry, aware of the inner architecture of poems—and maybe it couldn't have been written by anyone but Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux, two passionate poets." -- Marie Howe
"An intelligent, lucid conversation—between the authors and between them and us. I have been with them all—there is no better companion!" -- Gerald Stern
"Thoughtful, generous, and accurate to both deeper truths and the craftwork it takes to hold them…a superb guide for the working poet." -- Jane Hirshfield
