Praise
"Brilliant . . . Ackerman expresses her signature love for the world in all its seething glory. . . . Her sensuality is still in full force." –Booklist
"[These poems are] full of physical participation in the world, human involvement, and (as one might expect of this scholar of the senses) an eloquent eye." –Richard Wilbur
"Vivid, playful, abundant, these poems constitute a directory of colors, an assembly of weathers, waters, creatures, and a bold, brash, invincible vote of confidence." –Anthony Hecht
"[Ackerman’s] poems express a sense of sheer joy in physical existence, which she explores in language that has its own intense life. The book is a pure pleasure." –Louis Simpson
