About Mania Klepto: The Book of Eulene:

"Of all the descendants of Berryman’s Henry Pussy-cat, Carolyne Wright’s Eulene has got to be the most, to use the poet’s own term, bodacious. This 'gregarious loner' weaves her formidable presence from Puyallup to Calcutta, from childhood memories to apocalyptic myth. Narrative, satire, and lyric meditation come together in an intricate, vivid portrait. In Mania Klepto, Eulene demands her say— and she says a lot."
—Don Bogen

"Eulene’s deft satire cuts two ways, at Indian folkways and at Eulene’s American expectations and needs, and all in fresh, vivid language. . . . Wright has created a complex character in Eulene, and the collected work about her is certain to attract the attention it deserves."
—Laurence Goldstein

"Carolyne Wright’s Mania Klepto: The Book of Eulene is a masterful, imaginative collection focusing on Eulene, one of the most memorable characters to ever grace the pages of a book of poems. Nothing keeps Eulene down, and nothing keeps these poems from soaring. This inspired collection of funny, audacious poems will leave you reeling with delight and wonder."
—Jim Daniels

"Eulene, star of a tour-de-force in which an alter-ego is brought to life, knows whoshe is and generously tells us."
—Mark Jarman

"Eulene promises to be a compelling, disquieting figure."
—W. D. Snodgrass

"Carolyne and Eulene rule."
—David Wagoner
