By the time Wolf recorded Poet's Heart in 1985, she had spent more than a decade honing her songcraft, and it shows. Delicate lyrical lines blend seamlessly with (and are accented to perfection by) guitarist-mandolinist Nina Gerber's expert picking. "In China or a Woman's Heart (There Are Places No One Knows)" is an exceptionally beautiful tale of lifelong love, while "All He Ever Saw Was You" and the title track addresses loneliness with sympathy and grace. Spare arrangements and honest words are a winning combination in the hands of an artist of Wolf's caliber. -- Alexandra Russell

5.0 out of 5 stars Kate Wolf's best, November 25, 1998

By	Matthew Dryer (Buffalo, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my favourite album, by anybody, of at least the last 20 years. It only makes me wonder what more Kate might have done, if she had lived to produce more. A beautiful voice, and, if possible, an even more beautiful song writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing tribute to one of this country's finest singer, July 3, 1998

By	Marcia Wintibaugh (Denver, Co) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have heard all of her albums and corresponded with Kate up until the time of her death in 1986. She was a unique individual who brought her heart into her music and wanted to share it with the world. Her music moved me to a point that I have never been moved by an artist before or since I heard her the first time in 1980. She was a remarkable soul that has been taken from us just as she was blooming in her music. The dolphin song and ship at anchor caught my attention to the point that I have never loved music as much as I have with Kate Wolf. Buy all her albums, listen to them with your heart and you will find something that has been missing in your heart that she captures and holds you with a "slender thread". Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up during the period Kate Wolf was recording. Was also a fan of folk music. Had never heard of her. My loss. I now have most of her work. She has a way of touching you as all good music should. Her tragic loss was a loss for all of us
