Reviews

[Joe Pan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have you ever gone back to a "difficult" poet's early work to discover the seeds of their invention & found yourself loving & understanding the later work through the earlier accomplishments? This is how I came to love Jorie Graham, & this is how I've come to love Ann Lauterbach. These poems are quiet, wintery, striking--like the Kennedys at their Cape Cod compound. I found the simple, elegant, deep lines wonderfully surrounded by their appurtenant quietude just lovely.

Wonderful early Lauterbach.
