Críticas

Rich, even ornate at times, Schnackenberg's poetry carries its weight as if it were no weight at all, partly by its thematic intensity and partly by the sheer beauty of its imagery. "Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review" Schnackenberg stands out among younger American poets for her ambition, in the best sense of the word. Her verse is strong, dense, and musical. . . . Behind it are formidable masters, Robert Lowell most notably, but also Yeats and Auden. . . . [Hers] is a very rare achievement in contemporary poetry. "Adam Kirsch, The New York Times Book Review" A profound meditation on the mysteries of feeling and language from a passionate, brilliant poet.
