Reviews

“A worthy introduction to her elegant oeuvre.”
— Publishers Weekly
“A worthy introduction to her [Berssenbrugge’s] elegant oeuvre.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Essentially these poems are demanding. They demand that the reader give up preconceptions and enter their construct. What they return is a poetic view that is more than thinking outside the box but in a universe where there is not box—but language, reflection, and ultimately beauty instead.”
— Santa Fe New Mexican
