What critics say:

“With deft mastery, Rosalind Brackenbury distills the facts and feel of a deeply lived-through and profoundly attended-to existence.”
— Jane Hirshfield

“These rich, fluent poems tell the story of a writer’s pilgrimage…The sentences are so poised and artfully phrased that…they are a palpable pleasure on the tongue.”
— Harvey Shapiro

“As I read Rosalind Brackenbury’s recent poems, I sensed that in the process of creation she must have been exceptionally aware of the reader; the reader being, of course, me. She tells me what I feel in language choicer than my own; she also intuits what I should be feeling and reveals it in language of tactful purity.”
— Harry Mathews

“Her poems are easy to enter but very hard to leave. They resonate in the mind long after their note has been struck.”
