by Rebecca McClanahan
Comment upon Naked as Eve:
-
These resourceful poems beckon to us with their music, subtle wit and
insight
into human foibles and desire. The portraits of family, marriage, her
canny
meditation on language and the natural world insinuate themselves in
memory
and won't let go. A consummate poet, McClanahan proves herself a
master at
achieving just the right tone of voice, somber or high-spirited; the
appearance of Naked as Eve, her fourth collection, is an occasion to
gladden
the heart.
- —Colette Inez
Whether the subject is her religious girlhood or conjugal love and its discontents, Rebecca McClanahan writes with grace and charm and with a lovely feel for the erotics of disaster (and survival).
- —David Lehman
There are some wondrously wise poems here, about marriage and family, gardens and old loved cars, all told with a felicity of phrasing and maturity of outlook that delight the reader.
- —Maxine Kumin
