“For years I've bragged that the Syracuse [Creative Writing] Program is the best in the country, and now there's a collection that proves it. These three young women – recent grads – trounce the under-read and over-posed poets of their generation. Each writes with ardor, wit, and linguistic invention. Each writes with feeling and clarity and a voice wrenched from the meat of her body.” —Mary Karr
“Sarah Coleman Harwell is our Magellan of love. She speaks with intensity, words put under the pressure of a syntax alert for sound and interior collisions of meaning. Her skill in reversing the known and the unknown, the loved and unloved, the knotted from the unknotted, have the effect of making us come into a new and devastating awareness.”—Bruce Smith
