""It was finished and went to heaven. Heaven is a white formica table. Not what I expected, but I'm not unsatisfied. God still isn't here. I'm not even waiting."
"This is one cohesive little book--like the Abbey Road of slim, lonely volumes of poetry. She's fresh, and funny as hell too. Well played.
Poems that made me go "gah" (many) included: The News, With a Voice in Front of You, Spring, A History of Something, Because It Has to Be This Way, Garden Apartments, January, Central Park South, Elegy, Snow on the Apples, and the killer prose poem, Parts of an Argument."
"I heard Arda Collins read in Chicago at one of the off-site AWP readings (I'm pretty sure it was the jubilat reading). I left the conference in February with her name on my must-find-and-read list. The short and sweet: It Is Daylight is good. Some of the poems do nothing for me ("Garden Apartments," "Poem #9") and others, especially the first one in the book ("The News") drive me batty with envy of her talent. I look forward to reading her future publications."
