"Valentine's method of investigating a drama, using multiple lyrical perspective, is compelling. I find that I want more, and she gives less with each succeeding book. Dream Barker is so good it's like an institution in and of itself. But then the material gets whittled back. I guess I'm just one of those spoiled brat readers."
"This is one of my favorite poetry collections by one of my favorite poets. She has really been formative for my own work. I just took a class with her this summer up in Bloomington and was grateful that she's just as splendid in person as she is on the page. Her poems are short, mysterious, and very powerful. She is everything a lyrical poet aspires to be."
"i went to a poetry reading of hers and instantly adored her. i want to be like ms. valentine when i'm older, thoughtful with a quiet but poignant sense of humor and exuding wisdom. at least, that's the impression i got :) love reading her. (also, for those anne readers, she reminded me of miss lavendar in book 4)."
