Robin Morgan’s latest collection is a tour-de force: poetry that thrills the intellect and stirs the emotions. Robin shares her joys and intimacies which take centre stage and laments ‘the ringmaster’s desertion’ as death hovers in the wings and aging unfolds, while "laughing at the pain / through the gridlocked traffic in my brain". Light and shadow, sleep and wakefulness, holding tight and letting go, regret and contentment, order and chaos, battle it out simultaneously through the interplanetary and domestic worlds.
Intense and at times magnificent. — The New York Times Morgan proves that exquisite poetry can sometimes be the most surprising gift of grief.A volume as proud, fierce, vulnerable, and brave as the poet herself. —Alice Walker An accomplished and original poet, Morgan commands a wealth of technical resources, evident in the formal poems, and spilling over into her free verse. Each of her lines has an integrity of its own, indistinguishable from the material embedded in it. My guess is that Morgan will be regarded as one of our first ranking poets. —Jay Parini, Poetry. Love is impossible.This truth has never been more touchingly exemplified than in Robin Morgan’s poems.They hit square center. —Ned Rorem Beautifully written, passionate, rich in splendid imagination. —Grace Paley
