“One criterion for writing good poetry is an elastic memory, one that stretches back and back and back and gathers in its narrow band those long-ago, concrete details that translate onto the page as truth. Luddy is exquisitely gifted in this area.”
–Dannye Romine Powell, The Charlotte Observer
“Mastery of tone is a quality that I always admire in a poet, and Karon Luddy manages that from cover to cover in this first poetry collection. Fresh, sharp, and sassy. . .”
Richard Allen Taylor,
