Críticas:

Past praise for Sharon Dolin: "She writes at the edge of compression, with such pop to her lines that I'm reminded of Auden's definition of poetry--'memorable speech.'" --Bob Hicok, on Burn and Dodge Past praise for Sharon Dolin: "In Whirlwind, Sharon Dolin's trademark quick wit and candor are infused with an uncanny mix of flirt and fury. . . . Whirlwind is a book of wonderful whimsy, grace, and bite." --Terrance Hayes "Manual for Living contains poems that bloom via rhyme and wordplay into complex and disarming self-knowledge and self-instruction. There is comfort and delight in the movement and mind of these poems." --Matthea Harvey "Employing a sparkling linguistic palette, Dolin's poems rejoice, mourn a little, and then laugh at life's reality of not knowing the future, the divine, or one's own purpose." --Salamander "A powerfully gifted psalmist, Sharon Dolin creates in the 'Of Hours' section of her book a singular world of praise and pain. Charged with biblical echoes and reminiscent of the religious poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, her language strains and buckles to give voice to her yearning, as God ('you') appears and disappears, hour by hour." --Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg, author of The Murmuring Deep: Reflections on the Biblical Unconscious

Reseña del editor:

Make Full Use of What Happens to You In the face of broken build a tower of breath In the eye of deceit carve a hive of light In the rumble of regret fashion a new net In the oracular gut leaven what's left In the fall of grief, harvest winter wheat In the infested wound, bring leeches to swoon In the empty bed, writhe a pelvic bone In the stung heart, harrow a new song In Fortuna's backswing let fallow fill wings
