Praise for the Poetry of Kimiko Hahn
"One of the most fascinating female poets of our time."
- BOMB
"A word for Hahn need not simply encompass two meanings; it can bloom into a many-petalled thing. [Like Dickinson's explosive verses], the closer you get to Hahn's wry verses, the more they are likely to blow you away."
- Alicia Ostriker, poet, critic, and activist, from American Book Review
"Kimiko Hahn moves through the rooms of the mind with an oneiric weightlessness. . . . [Her work is] is a beautiful and troubling book, a marriage of what matters most: the mysteries buried at our very core and the world that cradles and cuts into us at every turn."
- Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and memoirist
"Rigorous intelligence, fierce anger, and finally a deep vulnerability inform [Kimiko Hahn's] poems."
- Mark Doty, National Book Award-winning poet
