"In Security, Linda brings us her hard-edged vision of a domestic life in which miracles pale in comparison to the solidity and substance of real people. She blesses the world- our world- with her attention to our hopes and fears: we know these people, struggling for dignity and meaning, worrying about friends and children and marriage and money, looking for sufficient beauty to go on. These poems find that beauty again and again and offer it to us as the daily bread of poetry." -Richard Hoffman, "Interference and Other Stories," winner of Massachusetts Cultural Fellowship and Literary Review's Charles Angoff Prize
"Linda K. Sienkiewicz takes on the grittier human topics: children gone to war or astray, our violent selves, the sometimes "dearth of noble natures" and intrepidly rearranges the disaligned, awakening us with poetry that sings out and takes no prisoners." -Dorianne Laux, "Facts about the Moon," winner of Oregon Book Award
"The power of these poems comes from their clear, unflinching details as she examines the subtle balancing act of our daily lives, and the miracle of staying on the tightrope." -Jim Daniels, "Revolt of the Crash Test Dummies," winner of Blue Lynx Poetry Prize
"With courage and craft, Sienkiewicz describes our general human vulnerability... The poet's precision and big-hearted affection for life makes reading her book a deep pleasure." ~Margaret Hasse, "Milk and Tides," National Endowment of the Arts Poetry Fellowship recipient
