“Here is a book that bears witness to a life of the greatest intensity about which few details are revealed except as poetry of a very high order, demanding of itself and the reader. She is simultaneously spare and baroque, unforgiving of self but with misericordia toward others. It seems her teachers were Celan, Asian poets, and Johann Sebastian Bach. She is exceptional, exceptional, exceptional—with a beautiful, unique voice.”—Stanley Moss
