Recenzii

“Norris’ poems are characterized by generosity and compassion, as plain and spacious as the prairie life that has engendered many of them.”
--Publishers Weekly

“A spiritual bravery allows her to live in a way that reduces external interference with teh inner voice. As a result, Norris has written some of the finest and most scrupulously honest religious poems of her generation.”
--Ruminator

". . . .she has inherited [Emily] Dickinson's view that the thing that inspires is the thing to be celebrated. The reader can often sense Ms. Norris's sheer pleasure in writing."
—New York Times Book Review
