Poetry. "To write superb love poems using the imagery of the contemporary world, to reconcile fast driving, oil rigs, astronauts, the Vietnam War with the most tender and sensous feelings is one of Nora Mitchell's special achievements. She speaks in a wholly original voice, forthright and respectful of the reader, and she opens to us a world of subtle perceptions, drawn with delicacy and truth. Her skilful interweaving of public and private events, as in the moving 'Replay,' makes each more meaningful. This book is a very great pleasure to read."—Erika Mumford
