Reviews

Stone understands that poems, as Robert Lowell encouraged, must be events in themselves and not merely records of events. Whether psychological or philosophical, or advancing the intensity of raw emotion, Stones poems are urgent and dramatic, put themselves and by extension the reader, at risk." -- Thom Ward Stone is not a literary poet (there are enough of them). Her text does not depend on other texts. She is interested in a womans truth, and has something hard won (but won) to give h er readers. This is strong poetry. -- Allen Grossman Stone offers lean and sparkling poetry that invites us to join with it - poems that are, in their way, multi-faceted spaces to explore, discovering what we may, and grafting what we bring. -- Timothy McLafferty, Verse Wisconsin
