Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Add this to her 1991 Pulitzer Prize winner Near Changes (LJ 3/15/90) and Firefall, "minimalist sonnets...with "deep-cutting wit" (LJ 12/92).

Review
"She can continually combine perspectives amusing and profound, tragic and joyful, awestruck and ironic, bright and dark. Few, if any, living poets give greater pleasure to readers. Indeed, far more than a short-term laureate, she has become a national literary treasure." Phoebe Pettingell, The New Leader
"Playful or rueful, witty or grave, Van Duyn's sonnets, elegies, and detailed descriptive poems entertain subjects as diverse as love, marriage, births, deaths, art, the creative process and the 'full splendor' of 'the flowering self'...Firefall, like the poet's earlier work, bespeaks a humane, forgiving spirit, rich in warmth and moral wisdom." Ben Howard, Poetry
"Mona Van Duyn has displayed throughout her long career more than enough authority and range, originality and technical mastery to qualify as a major poet. Happily Firefall triumphantly maintains and extends the consistently high level of her work...It's hard to exaggerate the richness of these books."
--Rachel Hadas, The New York Times Book Review -- Review
