About Earth:

"In Earth, Cecilia Woloch writes with the wonder and resilience that are essential, not only to empathy, but to transformation. Woloch weds us to the natural world through language that is both straightforward and particular. A 'river's lifting dress' comes to represent history; branches swaying 'like the arms of a woman waving goodbye' come to represent mortality. These remarkable poems are hymns and requiems; they are made of 'blood mixed with earth.'"
