This book not only makes a major contribution to the annals of women and the turbulent era Cochran lived in, but because it is immensely readable, it may break the sound barrier between historical facts and passionate feelings." —Maxine Kumin 2001, 112 pages |

"Enid Shomer's is a poetry of image and metaphor, and especially of startling leaps of association that are rooted in metaphor." —Robert Wallace 1997, 88 pages |

"Enid Shomer writes tautly elegant, passionate lyrics. The exactitudes of forms that other poets often find daunting elicit from her seemingly effortless yet remarkable images. This is a book full of feeling that marries art to craft." —Maxine Kumin The Pope Joan section, 1992 winner of the Eunice Tietjens Memorial Prize from Poetry Magazine 1992, 80 pages |
