"The clenched intensity of some of these poems recalls Gerard Manley Hopkins, if we imagine Hopkins as a woman remembering the golden days of her Midwestern girlhood. Offering prayer, praise, elegy, spiritual struggle, and short hymn-like pieces, Jane Greer's work eloquently reminds us of the range and power of devotional lyric."
