"This is her own intense record of a journey, one of the many she's been on in her whole life. She hums. She burns. One conversation, one reading of her poems is worth a shelf of books, a lifetime of talk with anyone else I can think of. This is no ordinary bird. Fireworks, that's what!" —Myra Sklarew "Not the least of the fireworks in Ann Darr's new books are the fireworks of wit and feeling, of language and the imagination." —Linda Pastan
