About Everything Turns Into Something Else:

"These are poems that move easily between the personal and the larger issues of human life. Full of wonderful metaphorical transformations, of one thing turning into something else, Everything Turns Into Something Else is a highly crafted and well organized book of poems in which the poems form a whole that is greater than its parts."
—Robert Cording

"Here is a vivid, arresting, questioning book. In poem after poem, Jeanne Wagner brings extraordinary intelligence and electric language to subjects ranging from ocularists to aeroponics, Demeter to Descartes, a meditation on Oppenheimer's house to a defense of Goldilocks. It's a great pleasure to see such a lively mind so fully engaged. Everything Turns Into Something Else is full of wonders."
—John Brehm

"Whether her titles are exotic like 'Turning a Sentence Dark' or 'Epistemology of the Fall,' or somewhat familiar like 'The Angels' or 'Going for the Jugular,' Jeanne Wagner brings an originality to whatever she chooses to take on. I love, in particular, how she thinks her way down a page, every line seemingly discovered by the line that preceded it. A wonderful achievement."
—Stephen Dunn
