These celebratory and mournful poems, so artful and intelligent, so smart and sharp with linguistic leaps and returns and reversals, derive from Becker's imaginative encounters with the everyday, often in its immediacy - a hummingbird, a black bear, a coppiced tree, a Yankee barn sale. Becker is the perfect companion, intimate and revelatory, with whom to see the world."" - Richard McCann
""For many years Robin Becker has been writing some of the best poems of our generation. Her devotion to what Frost called ""vocal imagination"" weds the laconic, half-humorous, half sorrowing quality of her speech to the quiet virtuosity of her music. But what I most value is her clear-eyed affection for other people. To quote Thom Gunn, her poems ""bypass the self like love."" - Tom Sleigh
