review 1: If I could give this book 5000 stars, I would. This one is definitely on my top list of poetry titles that would be by my side if I were stranded on a deserted island. There's not enough room here for the praise I would like to express, so let me say this: if you haven't yet read this collection, rush out and buy it now; if you already own it, move it to the top of your pile as soon as possible. Traci Brimhall deserves all of the accolades she has received and I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to read her work. My own copy looks like a road map from all the underlining, such rich passages, such beauty in each poem.
review 2: There is gorgeous language here--Brimhall clearly is a master of metaphor and image. But I have to say that by the time I ... morefinished the book, I felt exhausted by the sameness of the poems in terms of length, form, and tone. There was no relief from the density of both language and content. I would have welcomed a short, simple (in the sense of plain language) poem. But, in general, this is a beautiful book and worth reading. less
