"What power. Smith's poetry is all poetry. And visceral. Her poems get under the skin of their subjects. Their passion and empathy, their real worldliness, are blockbuster."--Marvin Bell


"I was weeping for the beauty of poetry when I reached the end of the final poem."--Edward Sanders, National Poetry Series judge
