"Lola Haskins's range is broad; her perceptions are always surprising. Natural objects surpass themselves and episodes of women's history are rewritten in this lively, adventuresome collection." -Maxine Kumin " . . . Hunger is a cabinet of crystals each one with a cutting edge. It's a wonder." -Beloit Poetry Journal "She knows we are rooted to the earth but long for the stars. . . . And she's wise enough to know that love searches us out. Dazzling." -Northwest Arkansas Times "[The poems] richly present the experience of women, as the complexity of their material, emotional, and imaginative lives presses against the constraints of their assigned roles. . . wonderfully evocative." -The Hudson Review ". . . Convincing and exquisitely visual. It plays off a painterly use of visualization and technique even as it enacts the limits of such artistry in the face of real feeling. . . . It is the clarity of Haskins's poems and (her speakers') observations, combined with the sometimes elegant, sometimes searing restraint with which the observations are made, that gives these poems their impact." -Colorado Review
