Reviews
- "[Moldaw] courts revelation . . . in a voice variously crious, passionate, surprised, meditative, and sensual. On the surface of her work are rich sounds and varitations of rhythm and line. A few steps deeper in lie wells of feeling and complexities of thought." – Frieda Gardner, The Women's Review of Books[3]
- "[Moldaw] repeatedly achieves lyric junctures of shivering beauty. . . .oblique, wily, and intensely intelligent poems." – The New Yorker[4]
