Reviews

""The lushness is late romantic; these poems' 'vintage is Keatsian, ' loading every rift with ore. . . . This is a big and imposing book, worldly wise but warmly open and giving."" --David Wheatley, The Guardian ""Mlinko is rarely less than dazzling thanks to the pleasure and rigor of her phrasing. . . layered, allusive, and intelligent poems. . . . There is a moving and unignorable sense of grief and loss beneath the surface, in an expertly managed balance with the luster of the vocabulary and music of these poems."" --Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""Mlinko delivers again on the promise of a richly rewarding smorgasbord of sound, image, feeling, and thought."" --Diego Báez, Booklist ""Mlinko is an exacting wordsmith, a masterful turner of phrases and configurer of tones, but it's the sounds her poems make, playing and replaying them just before they fade, that makes the poetry memorable. . . . marvelous stuff, manna from heaven, water in the desert ."" --Eric Bies, Open Letters Review
