Review

"Most of the poems in this collection aren't difficult; they're not even deceptively simple, but they're sparkling and intelligent and sometimes wise. People who say they don't like poetry might well like this." -- Philadelphia Inquirer

"Levin's tone changes to mostly comic in a series of horoscope poems spoken in the voice of a sometimes compassionate, sometimes judgmental fortune teller. The comedy aside, Lynn Levin is also adept at beautifully rendering human relationships, as she does in ‘The White Puzzle,’ in which a sister and brother fit together the many blank pieces of a puzzle. The poem captures a magical memory and is rife with metaphoric possibilities—the white puzzle, described as snow, a page, moonlight, and space, could easily signify youth, life, innocence, the unknown, or even the poem itself.” -- Gently Read Literature

“Levin knows her craft, but isn't willing to obscure her knowledge with abstract subjects that won't connect with her readers. These poems all connect and hold universal appeal.” -- Pedestal Magazine

“Lynn Levin does not only see the world around her in a surprising and original way, but watches the way her own mind works to produce those quirks and red herrings, which testifies to a great originality. I find the title of this collection ironic. But the irony comes from the poet's testimony of survival rather than that of ephemerality of poetry and life.” -- Rattle
