Aprašymas
Bauer's poems probe the dark landscapes between impression and apprehension, the past, and its repetition through imaginative transformation, impulse, and restraint. Her delivery is tough and terse; her imagery is fresh and often startling. Her poems are poignant, intelligent, and believable.
". . . . Bauer transforms the mundane, carrying you off to the mystical moment, and then gently returning you to the here and now, but changed." --Erika Butler, The Café Review
"Anne Sexton, Elizabeth Bishop, Carolyn Kizer--let them make room for Grace Bauer. Sexton's equal in sardonic vision, Bishop's equal in the music of speech, Kizer's equal in rapier wit . . . . I, for one, will try to read every word this woman writes." --Will Slattery
