Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-21 00:00:00 Luca Corvi Weeden's poetry from the end of the 19th Cent is filled with racist and Lost Cause tropes that would make it unpleasant reading for many modern readers. What sets the work apart are the illustrations, when the author rendered herself from various freemen she encountered.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-09 00:00:00 Thabang Mafohla There are ways to make of the moment a topiary so the pleasure's in walking through. - from "Flirtation" Surprised and enchanted by these poems, my first thorough introduction to Rita Dove, one of my town's resident famous poets. I was not expecting the latent mysticism. Her bountiful, far-reaching vocabulary and intellectual curiosity reveal her devotion to lifelong learning, which naturally made me warm to her. I particularly liked her historical poems, the operatic Thomas and Beulah cycle, and poems that worked in some nature and magic.
