"This is poetry of the first order, the work of an original, resourceful writer. The poems are passionate, they are intelligent, they are beautiful, marked equally by their haunting music and their sensuous, loss-touched images. Her language caresses and celebrates the coutours and textures of the world as body, even as it reveals an unshakable longing for something beyond it. " -- Wayne Dodd

Review
"If it is possible for poetry to increase the amount of the meaning of human freedom, then Amy Newman's Order, or Disorder does so, powerfully. By establishing then responding to its own sense of duty, even the title becomes an invitation and an opening, a gesture of inclusion. And the sometimes astringent intellingence of this poet, added to the delicate nuance of her imagery, produce glistening, smart, sometimes funny, always fascinating poems." --Bin Ramke
"In an efflorescence of emblem and element, these poems locate the mercurial female principle again. In ocean, rain, rock, in primordial color, here is an amplitude of words to relieve us just as the century closes. Here, again, a poet has found bedrock among the stars. Amy Newman has written mutable figures into consciousness; here is a place of metaphore where, as she puts it, "'language crawls the country on its belly.'" --Jane Miller
