A poetic voice of earthy directness and visionary power
    -from the foreword by Amy Clampitt

 

Lyric and eros armed with a tattered shield of humor - Karen Chase is present in her life and our times.
    -Andrei Codrescu

 

Karen Chase's poems modulate from the humorous to the erotic and then to the elegiac. All is held together by her skill and intensity. No line sleeps in these poems in which moments of real experience are isolated and made incandescent.
    -Billy Collins
