Reviews
Poetry Flash:
“Shamanic . . . extremely powerful.”
Small Press:
“Language and image combine to create a moment of true discovery and revelation.”
World Literature Today:
“[Hogan’s] poems reveal a profound sense of the price we pay for alienating ourselves from our origins in the natural world. . . . Savings deals with all the ways we can save the past, save our awareness of the natural world, save our feelings for those ancestors who came out of that world and returned to it, and, in the process, save ourselves.”
Minnesota Women’s Press:
“Using words both simple and direct, Hogan shows us the Earth, its hills and its fissures, its imperfect and forgivable people. . . . And it is because of Hogan’s tragic and joyful portrayal of them that the world becomes, in fact, unforgettable.”
Hungry Mind Reviews:
“This book is startling.”
ALA Booklist:
“In direct, colloquial speech heightened by unexpected but exact images drawn effortlessly . . . Time and again, she hits the exact metaphor that conveys the feeling of being truly alive.”
American Indian Quarterly:
“She speaks with a depth of understanding and humanity hardly equaled by any other contemporary poetry . . . the poet’s voice becomes an incantation of life.”
