Strongin's language is muscular, challenging, disarming, and utterly unexpected as she journeys through childhood illness to the demands of age, circling, looking back, returning always to the body's insistent desires: "The need roughens in me to have love. The way the paper has tooth." I have never read anything like it.
-Rachel Rose, Poet Laureate, Vancouver, BC
Lynn Strongin is a force of nature.
-Chase Twichell, Winner of the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award
