"...Lois Hirshkowitz guarantees us a remarkable radius of pleasure in these quirky, dream-like poems about the circumference of a life, and how to calculate it...this is a full-bodied abstraction with a sensuous apprehension of the world. Hirshkowitz's poems are mature work in peak flower, radiant on the landscape of contemporary American letters"--Molly Peacock. Lois Hirshkowitz is a founding editor and trustee of Barrow Street. She has published three books of poetry: Nurture & Torture, Marking Her Questions, and Pan's Daughters.
