The linkage of blood and blood; the hummingbird, symbol of all that is luminous, swift and ephemeral; the lights sure touch-these are characteristic of Carol Muske's art. * <i>New York Times Book Review</i> * A carefully cultivated gift for phrase-making that converts accurate observation into decisive declaration. * <i>Poetry Magazine</i> * Ah, that wonderful, rare thing: a poet who has the ability to deepen the secrets of experience even while revealing them. * <i>Los Angeles Times Book Review</i> * Carol Muske is one of the best poets of her generation. . . . [Her poetry] is emotionally rich without being sentimental or exhibitionist or indulgent; it is psychologically complicated without being neurotic or showing signs of repression; it is aware of and alert to the persent world without being polemical. Further, it manifests a regard for clarity and exactness which I find rare. * Donald Justice *
