Walking the Dog's Shadow: Poems: A. Poulin, Jr. New Poets of America
Autor Deborah Brown Tony Hoaglanden Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2011
Walking the Dog's Shadow rose to the top of nearly eight hundred submissions to win the ninth annual A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize. Tony Hoagland, who served as final judge for the contest, writes, "Deborah Brown's poems remind me a little of the great Polish poet, Wistawa Szymborska. They both make thinking look easy. . . . Brown's poems aren't just about a eureka moment; they taste of the whole journey. Walking the Dog's Shadow is a beautiful book, wise and sure of itself, fresh with wit and gravity, serious and true."

Recenzii
"Brown writes with an expectedly mature and knowing voice yet one which betrays no traces of effort in capturing the feeling of awe she often finds in her observations of life. Thus, her poems feel not only very natural and even flowingly light in places, but also—and without irony or contrast—come forth as powerful bulwarks all the same."
— CutBank Literary Magazine
"Brown's poems are sharply attuned to absence: things missing, words unspoken.... listen to everything she says—and to everything she doesn't say. It's only in learning to pay attention to what's here and what's not that we can go along with the wisdom of the speaker."
— Scott F. Parker, Rain Taxi Review of Books
