Saint Torch
"Emily Fragos's poems are mysterious. Her songs make me confess to myself. In her poems, you find the God's honest truth like wildflowers. Her poems are ferocious and saintly (you must remember, one saint, Saint Julian, murdered his mother and father, not a problem with Emily). She is somehow self-born, which is my way of saying her poems are unique, singular, necessary--wonder-full poems, very good dogs." --Stanley Moss "Emily Fragos is a thin-skinned, tough-minded poet of this world. Her sensual sensibility is unrestrained by conventional perceptual grids. Her poems take us by surprise. . . . Fragos's trust in language is fruitful, justified. No word she writes is an advertisement for herself. We are enlarged by her resonant verbal imagination." --Marie Ponsot

Emily Fragos is one of my favorite poets, and this a wonderful addition to her body of work. She writes with incredible depth of feeling combined with intellectual curiosity. Unapologetically tough. Fully felt.

The writing is fine. I should probably give four stars. Just a personal opinion.
