Aizenberg is one of the most accomplished poets writing in America today.”—Erin Belieu, author of Come-Hither Honeycomb “These beautifully detailed yet restrained poems smolder with the force of resistance—against ‘good-girl rules,’ against the indignities of death, against what the news brings us every day. Aizenberg’s is a sensibility grown brave, empathic, and supple, flinching from nothing, and able to hold but not surrender to the pain of not flinching.”—Leslie Ullman, author of Unruly Tree: Poems “Susan Aizenberg embraces influences—including Denise Levertov, Stephen Dunn, and Louis Simpson—to create exquisite narratives about human freedom. . . . Her poems shimmer with clarity. Her meditations marvel.”—Denise Duhamel, author of Second Story: Poems “Susan Aizenberg is a poet with a wonderfully distinct voice—the poems in A Walk With Frank O’Hara have that difficult-to-achieve illusion of effortlessness I deeply admire, with no fussiness or straining for effect, but rather a clean elegance that allows Aizenberg’s natural lyricism to shine.
