Scaffolding, Grace Paley:
This is a beautiful and stubborn book of poems.
The poems say only what they mean. They have about them a great deep patience for the whole truth, a waiting in quietness for tremor and explosion.
The Flashboat, The New Yorker:
Cooper handles with equal assurance public statement and private reflection
Mark Doty:
To perform the alchemical work of translating a human presence into paper and ink: that is the dream of the book, a dream fulfilled her, in this beautifully assembled life"s work. Jane Cooper has been engaged in a long patient act of making a consideration of self-in-the-world vigorous, humble, and fierce all at once.
