…Skipping along on this tour of city living, country living, memory, eros, parenting, death and crustaceans, you’ll soon slip inside Maggie Bloomfield’s singular imagination, where the detritus of contemporary life, joyfully evoked, trips you up.”

–Julie Sheehan, Director, BFA in Creative Writing, Stony Brook University.

… image-driven, precisely rendered poems plumb and distill decades of observation, memory, and dreams, …Reading these poems will infuse the way you see your world and your self with urgently reverberating meaning.” –LB Thompson, Poet. Professor The New School MFA program NYC & Suffolk County Community College

“ This book is overflowing with poems that are sonically rich, playful at times, and raw with truth… skillfully written poems give the soul a place to rest its head, and to feel less alone.”

–Gladys L. Henderson, Poet Laureate Suffolk County, 2017-2019, Walt Whitman Birthplace Poet of the Year 2010
