From Library Journal:

"Even when they appear simple, Ponsot's poems can be difficult; they require both an attentive mind and a sharp ear. Her language is daring and playful, a challenge and a delight: 'What would it be to be water, one body of water / (what water is is another mystery).'

"In more than 50 years of writing, few subjects seem to have eluded Ponsot's attention. Here are poems of fable and history, of social and intellectual concern, but the strongest work by far is the personal: 'What women wander? / Not many. All. A few. / Most would, now & then, / & no wonder. / Some, and I'm one, / Wander sitting still.'

"Ponsot's poetry is elegiac without shadowy regret. This is the thoughtful, and sometimes unsettling, work of one of the more powerful poets of this tempestuous generation, and the current collection is a chance to chart her fascinating evolution.

"Ponsot won the National Book Critics Circle Award for her previous collection, The Bird Catcher (1998). Her selected would be a strong addition to any contemporary poetry collection."
