REVIEWS
"Stone is a genuine poet, with the capacity of seeming artless while being extremely artful."--Alicia Ostriker
"Nomi Stone brings to life the searing heat, the balance of superstition and tradition, and the flow of history that has built up to become the tremendous monument that is daily life. Stone speaks from a point both inside and out, letting us see the frame and stand inside it at the same time. It's an electric place to be."--Cole Swensen
