About Bad Harvest:
"Dzvinia Orlowsky's sixth book, Bad Harvest, is the book that stakes her claim to an oeuvre, her own territory in American letters. Orlowsky's voice is stunningly intimate, perhaps because these poems really look outward. Grounded in the funkiness of family love, marriage, the body in time, they turn to face history—our contemporary vortex, and the nightmares of Eastern Europe in the twentieth century."
"This collection simmers with the magical ingredients of an Eastern European medicine woman's brew. Bad Harvest releases its potency poem by poem, entrapping and entrancing with its candor and Orlowsky's deep-rooted intuitions and seductively quirky humor."
