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
