Recenzii

"Kasdorf chronicles her difficult journey from the Mennonite community into which she was born to a secular life in New York City. The material presents an interesting and unusually close portrait of the Amish people--for the most part without sentimentality. . . . Paradoxically, the speaker justifies her new way of life by citing the lessons she learned as a child."
--Publishers Weekly

 “This is as good as poetry gets. The poems are tightly wrung, sweetness and pain intermingled.”
--Festival Quarterly
