"Dear Judith Arcana
Not only do I like your book, I love it. Could there ever be a collection more endearing? Great wit, music, and pacing. Vivid passionate hungers, all stitched through the nubby fabric of aging with gorgeous shining threads. We can wrap ourselves right up in these poems for courage and verve.

Wisdom-riffs earned (wryly) 'perhaps as compensation' counterpoint her portraits of loss: of land, water, and the 'grandmothers [who]/could move like flowers' yet who, "When we came here, [...] would not come." And then: she slips away to an urgent world of 'wind, shining like the flash inside/my skull-' [to] revere and celebrate freedom ...."
