Notwithstanding their lovely and subtle crafting, these poems…aim for (and smack right into) the solar plexus.
—Cindy Hochman, The Pedestal
The poems…are impossible to look away from. The mind’s eye is drawn to the shapes of these poems and how they shatter and reform within the confines of their structures.
—Jennifer Martelli, The Mom Egg Review
Alison Stone plays with style for her own amusement, stretching those extraordinary poetry muscles simply because she can…Stone softens us up with the tender details and careful suggestions all decorously arranged and then she lowers some sort of heavyweight boom.
—Michael Dennis, Book of the Day
Each poem…releases a living voice from stone.
—Diane Seuss
