Reviews

“In the poems of Sandra Kohler the aubade [or dawn song] tradition is given fresh and surprising shape in poems of rich harmonies where a dark undertow, a sweet languor pulls back towards dream.… Her full-bodied, meditative songs of mother-love, sexuality, desire, and discovery unashamedly unfold a life in these memorable ‘long cadences of morning’” —Eleanor Wilner, author of Otherwise

“Renders with both wisdom and astonishment [the] conviction that ‘Nothing is more exotic than the real.’” —Publishers Weekly

“All of us can learn from this wonderful book.” —Tom Ferté, editor of Calapooya Collage

“[These poems] are strongly built and fit for living.” —Rattle
