Reviews

""Liza Hudock's debut collection, Reveille, reflects on ordinary life with such humility that her artfulness sneaks up on you like a coyote at twilight. Caring for her mom, washing wool blankets, tending her pumpkin patch -- in such quotidian acts, Hudock finds what she calls 'clear immutable truth.'""--Ron Charles, The Washington Post ""I love Liza Hudock's poems, for their tact and their feeling, their amusement and curiosity, their skill and attractive oddity, their clarity and complication, their fascinations and quiet audacities, all in the service of thinking about--among other things--family relationships, familial troubles, and the experience of great loss. At any given time, poets, maybe especially young poets, can start to seem a great deal like one another in their subjects and techniques, but Hudock's Reveille seems to me a book like no one else's, of this or, really, any moment. She's the real thing.""--Daisy Fried ""Liza Hudock is an original, rare as midnight lace obsidian. Her poems are spare, taut, denuded of ornament. The voice has almost an Irish lilt to it. In fact, one is reminded a bit of Claire Keegan's prose, the pristine quality, along with the sorcery. The world, in poem after poem, somehow transfigures into the personal with startling effect. Wonder abounds. A magnificent, memorable debut.""--August Kleinzahler
