Colorado Book Awards, judge’s statement:
“This little volume of poetry is the work of a major poet.”
Publishers Weekly:
“Hogan’s poetry is spare, elemental and direct, with a tremendous evocative force of imagery . . . Hogan has come into her own as an artist.”
Parabolas:
“Beautiful.”
American Book Review:
“Powerful and memorable.”
Village Voice:
“Poems that at their best are psychically restorative.”
Bloomsbury Review:
“The Book of Medicines reaches into Native American heritage to draw out images with healing potential for all readers.”
Booklist:
“Hogan continues to create a language that erases distinctions between world and spirit, between human and animal, between earth and sky . . . [she] is among the poets who work hardest to suture these spiritual sunderings.”
Wilson Library Bulletin (New York):
“Rich in metaphors of nature and Native American imagery.”
Joy Harjo:
“Hogan’s poetry has always been a medicine of sorts . . . These poems cross over to speak for us in the shining world. They bring back words for healing, the distilled truth of all these stories that are killing us with tears and laughter.”
