Rezensionen
"There is a pleasing consistency in these poems, which are always written in fluent free verse, in robust, clear language. Atwood's wit and humor are pervasive, and few of the poems end without an ironic twang...Magnificent." - Guardian

"The first book of poems in 12 years from the now world-famous Canadian author (The Handmaid's Tale) combines an older writer's reflections on aging with the dire warnings-political, environmental and moral-familiar from Atwood's recent fiction." - Publishers Weekly

"A master poet...[Atwood's] poems are stirring in their clarity." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
