Reviews

Dine's poems about women in extremis are pressed and compacted like diamonds. Her ability to empathize so completely with brave women who suffered terribly, in wartime, from the never-ending human appetite for cruelty, moved me profoundly. I have read Blood Moon over and over, and in my opinion, there is true greatness here. This volume of poetry surely deserves a place in the canon. -Michael Sandle, British sculptor and artist Carol Dine's poetry has always engaged. Immersed in her subjects, committed to their individual lives as humans, her language had to pursue, with deep compassion and trust, a full understanding of what it means to suffer and sometimes not survive life's unexpected consequences. We can be thankful for the path she opened up for us and the work she left behind so we, too, could observe the lives portrayed in Blood Moon. -Paul B. Roth, Editor, The Bitter Oleander Press
