Gioseffi's work overflows with poetic vision.

... a gifted writer.... A stunning essay [afterword]. It should be a book.

Galway Kinnell
Pulitzer Prize & National Book Award winning poet

Whatever Daniela does, she does well. Among other things, I'd put my life in her hands.... Dickinson is lucky Daniela took hers in her hands.

Grace Paley
Former Poet Laureate of VT. NY State Fiction Award

Startlingly fresh. Animated. Voluptuous. Gioseffi's writing is mythopoeic.

Mary Pradt
Library Journal

Gioseffi's writing is imaginatively rich, startling, intelligent, with a wide range of reading behind it, and relevant to the most profound issues of our times.

John Logan
Former poetry editor: The Nation

I like the way your essay richly evokes the life and times of Dickinson.

Robert Hass

The essay [afterword] on Dickinson is fascinating and convincing....
