About Revenance:

"The pitch of language can isolate image almost against memory, but as an instrument of its music. This is done across Hogue's new collection, Revenance, with an almost abstract, muralistic importance. I do love these poems—here is the balance of both color and flower naming the rose."
—Norman Dubie

"In her splendid eighth collection of poems, Cynthia Hogue looks deep and listens hard, finding the 'In / Visible' in the visible, straining to hear 'something, and more.' Whether she's inhabiting landscape or exploring art, Hogue seeks what eludes us, whether in depth or evanescence. Absence looms, in our impoverished and polluted earth, in the scraps of a lost interview, in the foreshadowed elegies that close the book; but the poet's deft use of language and form allow both what is and what is no more to be 'bodied forth, returning like a revenant: not whole, but changed.'"
—Martha Collins
