5.0 out of 5 stars
a poet of the first magnitude, September 22, 2006
This review is from: The Bird Catcher (Paperback)
Any critical reader of poetry will understand Marie Ponsot's importance as a leading poet of our time. A modernist in the sense of being playful and self-aware, she is also a traditionalist whose footing in classical literature allows her to dance in extraordinary (and catchy) rhymes and rhythms. The Bird Catcher is one of the best collections of poetry by any poet, ever.

Great Book, April 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bird Catcher (Paperback)
The Bird Catcher was a strong collection by Marie Ponsot, that contains subtle beauty intertwined with a strong presence of the self. Marie Ponsot has a unique voice, though there are elements of Phillip Levine's poignancy in her poems.
