Reviews

[Nick Pierce · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wildly different from the first collection I read - voice is more mature, settled into a style that still resonates but keeps you removed and off-kilter in (mostly) natural environments. Really appreciate the techniques at play, but didn't stir the soul like Hundreds of Fireflies for me.

I actually enjoy Brad Leithauser's writing a lot, both his fiction and his poetry. But it's his wife's - Mary Jo Salter's - poetry that really gets under my skin.

(Then there's the time I waste speculating on what it must be like to grow up in a household where both your parents are poets. One imagines their daughter waiting until she's twelve before finally uttering her first sentence, a fully polished gem...)
