Description
Poetry. "In these newest of her poems, Harriet Zinnes has dared to accept the deepest challenge of all writing: i.e. to dwell in the moment that is the seed-time of moments and in the image that rests forever within the disappearance of all images once beloved. Here is an unconditional clarity. Here are poems whose singularities are never less than complete."—Donald Revell
"The science of Zinnes' poetry is in its artistry. Objects, words, space...are arranged with poise and imminence. On the edge, we might expect them to tip into the next, but sometimes they hold. Precise, measured, but with delicacy and resolve. A unique voice, and one to be read and reread like Niedecker's."—John Kinsella
