Recenzii

“Poems that stick with you like a song that won’t stop repeating itself in your brain, poems whose cadences burrow into your bloodstream, orchestrating your breathing long before their sense attaches its hooks to your heart.”
—Washington Post on Captivity

“Toi Derricotte’s poems show us our underlife, tender and dreadful. And they are vibrant poems, poems in the voice of the living creature, the one who escaped—and paused, and turned back, and saw, and cried out. This is one of the most beautiful and necessary voices in American poetry today.”
—Sharon Olds on Captivity

“Derricotte’s words touch the reader as life has touched her, soul and body. This is a strong, sensuous, original, courageous book.”
—Adrienne Rich on Captivity

“This is a personal, moving work about child abuse, racial ‘passing,’ and women making art, and will attract all readers interested in these topics.”
—LIbrary Journal
