Reviews
"At the heart of Midwood is a violent curiosity that details of the world are drawn into, reemerging changed." — Karen Solie
"Jana Prikryl is a poet of unique gifts: unexpected images, ingenious syntax, and wide-ranging erudition." — Louise Glück, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature
"[Prikryl's] most recent [book], Midwood, makes clear and unmistakable the increasing singularity of her artistry..." — Nathan Blansett, The Los Angeles Review of Books
"This is part of the pleasure of reading Prikryl’s poems, the sense of exhilaration that accompanies their disintegrations, the little moments of free fall before something stable is once more given—some unexpected image or situation—to stand upon…" — Dustin Illingworth, Poetry Foundation
