“[These poems] are really quite remarkable–extremely beautiful, permeated by a clear-eyed tenderness.”—John Koethe, Falling Water

"Carolyn Steinhoff's poetry mimics the life of the body as the mind intuits it. The two are like lovers, in fact, both blessed and doomed to one another's company. These are haunting, plangent poems that reverberate in one's consciousness long after reading." –John Ashbery, Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror $13.24
