REVIEWS
Praise for Maggie Anderson’s earlier work, Cold Comfort:
“The crux of Maggie Anderson’s poems is the strong narrative line, one accompanied by an abundance of lore based in the folkways of the people. And her energy is that very essence of the old stories and poetry—present in the talk of ordinary people.”
—Shelby Stephenson
Previous Praise forAnderson's Cold Comfort
"She is primarily a poet of moral urgency—a political poet as we say these days—but she is never shrill, relying on the tensions inherent in the natural worl rather than on rhetoric." —American Book Review
