5.0 out of 5 stars
moving, brilliant, poetry that's a great read!, October 29, 2004
This review is from: Orchidelirium (Paperback)
This is the best first book of poetry I have read. It manages to be "poetic" and compulsively readable. Kudos. We need people asking these tough questions and finding brilliantly open-ended answers--this book heartens me.

pleasant surprise, August 3, 2005
This review is from: Orchidelirium (Paperback)
Sometimes, readng as much contemporary poetry as I do, I feel like one of the old orchid hunters--looking through the jungle for the rare flowers. Orchidelirium is a found orchid: it's a lovely, surprising read fusing narrative and lyricism. Landau is a fine fine poet, and she knows how to find the right balance, make the right gestures with language and line, with image and rhythm, to make us read on.
