""In Lynn Strongin's work, bread suddenly becomes 'the color of buffalo'. Strongin magnifies the world around us."" - Hugh Fox, late great poet and critic ""Lynn Strongin's poems carefully explore historical memory and a sense of recovery with a lyricism that is never sentimental, but disciplined, complex. She explores... how to live after the blade, to live as either wounded or as a ghost. I love the notion of secret history, the beatitudes and brutalisms behind all our grander... fictions."" - Jonathan Minton ""Accept Lynn Strongin's invitation into this magical kingdom of bees, lambs and foxes. Wish too: 'We can only afford to push away what we utterly possess.'"" - Glenna Luschei, poet and publisher
