Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fanny Howe employs a sometimes fierce, always passionate, spareness in her lifelong parsing of the exchange between matter and spirit." --Michael Palmer

"With extraordinary self-scrutiny and complexity and unmatchable musical poise and beauty, Fanny Howe examines our relationship with 'other' worlds, purgatories of various kinds: genetic, historical, theological." --Jorie Graham

"Howe is always an unpretentious pilgrim...I trust her as much as I have ever trusted anyone." --Rae Armantrout
