In language spare and well-keeled, Frischkorn's poems instill in the reader the kind of "perfect attentiveness" that the poet Alan Shapiro reminds us is required for reading and loving. Here, in these wonderful poems, we see that attentiveness devoted to the frail and meteoric world through a gaze that is both outward and inward. --James Hoch In the poem "Freshwater Notecards" Suzanne Frischkorn writes: I will fly/ in like a bird: not looking/ sideways, not looking/ down, not looking up. The imagination in these poems is like that; avid and disarming, they take the world head on, seeking beauty. In spare lines, with rich and lucid images, Suzanne Frischkorn sees the world transforming and remaking itself before her gaze. I love the elegant, heartfelt power of these poems. --Cynthia Huntington From the introduction to Spring Tide, winner of the Aldrich Poetry Award Suzanne Frischkorn's poems are brisk and compelling. She writes as to a friend, or a stranger who might become a friend. The poems are extremely visual; the language is select and elegant, in the natural way a letter might reach elegance. The poem called Still Water begins "I want to tell you…"--a clear desire not only to express but to communicate. The poems are not home-spun by any means but exact, and exactly right, even at times beatific, so that we see what she sees as she sees it, which is pretty much, isn't it, the poem's intended accomplishment? --Mary Oliver 3316249 9 2008 Lit Windowpane total:13|5:9|4:3|3:1| 13 60 49 0 5 0 false false Mon Oct 05 09:42:46 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 09:42:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 06:45:50 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 16:19:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 08:00:17 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 08:00:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Apr 06 19:31:32 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 19:31:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 26 06:57:39 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 06:57:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Feb 14 13:09:54 -0800 2009 Tue Sep 08 18:52:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 19 13:41:07 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 13:41:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 22:36:22 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 22:36:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 09:21:37 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 09:21:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 09:50:02 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 09:50:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 04:10:47 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 04:10:47 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Dec 27 07:42:39 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 07:42:41 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 09 10:08:33 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 10:08:39 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 29 08:17:31 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 08:17:31 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 17 19:25:46 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 19:25:46 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Nov 11 08:57:14 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 05:53:43 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 15 17:25:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 17:25:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Sep 29 12:55:07 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 12:56:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 10 19:02:47 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 19:03:56 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 07 06:16:26 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 06:16:33 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3279946
