Rave Reviews for the work of poets Davenport and Kinnas…

David Wojahn, author of World Tree, winner of the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, raves about Laura Davenport’s Dear Vulcan, “This is not a typical first collection: it has the authority and maturity of vision of a poet much further along in her career. Davenport’s poems are as alive with mysteries as Cornell’s shadow boxes, but they are also made up of stern self-appraisals, fraught but tender elegies, and quietly sardonic critiques of contemporary culture, particularly of her native South. Dear Vulcan is exemplary in every respect.”

The Book Lady herself contributed a glowing blurb for Miho Kinnas’s Move Over, Bird, "To create a culinary feast with words, place one Mary Oliver, who uses nature as a gateway to the spiritual, and one Haruki Murakami, whose spare prose demands a suspension of belief in the law of gravity, together in a blender and mix well; pour through a fine mesh sieve, and voila, an exemplary dish served best by Miho Kinnas. This is poetry cooked down to its most beautiful essence and manages to be both earthy and sparkling at once."
