Media Reviews

`Nelson's poems move fast, think on their feet, hit and run with equal parts of humor; glamor and horror. In every way, she is a thoroughly original voice for our time.'
Elaine Equi

`Nelson is so outrageously gifted a writer and thinker'
Washington Post

`Maggie Nelson writes like no one else on the planet'
