About Sugar Maker Moon:
"Mary Kathryn Jablonski's poems look ahead with desire and backward with nostalgia, grief, and regret. Their many futures and pasts confront a present emptied of everything but her beautiful, resourceful language and the fantasies it constructs. Sugar Maker Moon seeks unearthly fulfillment in earthly love, glimpsed in the seas of the moon and in places close as local trout streams and remote as distant nebulae. Reanimating memory, inventing husbands, Jablonski enlists us in a witty and difficult search for lasting joy."
"This book is a Tardis... composed of great echoing spaces and boxcars of images and passions that stretch off into the distance in all directions, clanging hollowly against each other with the weight of moonlit feathers. [Sugar Maker Moon] haunts in its powerful simplicity. When I read of the crow and dybbuk, I uneasily remember Ted Hughes ('Crow') and Sylvia Plath ('Ariel'). They were not of this book, or perhaps they were. This poet is an intelligence and brightness within a verdant if uncaring landscape."
