Praise for The Book of Seventy
“In this passionate, thoughtful collection, Ostriker approaches aging, politics, myth, and sensuality. With wisdom, she lyrically questions the world and the death and beauty that are a part of it.”
—American Poet
Praise for the volcano sequence
“It is impossible to decide whether these gorgeous poems are erotic or spiritual. They pour out from under Alicia Ostriker’s scholarship on the Old Testament, but their inspiration is older than that, and newer than that—as if Ariadne had been reborn during World War II, reborn to write poems.”
—Diane Middlebrook
