Previous Praise for Andrea Hollander
“All these poems are graceful and enchanting in their directness. I think Hollander’s poems always step off the main road and walk along on the shoulder or over on the railroad bed and then come back to meet the road farther on. She has a way of writing that travels a parallel track with ordinary conversational language.”
—Ted Kooser, US Poet Laureate, 2004 and 2005
“Hollander's impeccable conversational diction does just what a poem should do; it raises the hairs on the nape of your neck.”
—Maxine Kumin, US Poet Laureate, 1981–1982
“Andrea Hollander knows what to hold back as she lets us in. And so we willingly bring ourselves into her subtly registered emotional world. There's a lovely blend of qualities—an unsparing eye, and a heart that humanizes what that eye sees.”
—Stephen Dunn, 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
