Testimonials

Annie Finch's poetry is a pure tone that calls us home to the first impulse of poetry. We link to mystery. We lift off.
—Joy Harjo, Poet Laureate of the United States

 

Calendars is the work of a major poet, one of very few who understand how lyric lives in part because it can speak for something larger than the ego.
—Charles Altieri, Professor of Literature, University of California at Berkeley

Like an Olympic ice skater, she makes intricate music look smooth and easy. . .I recommend her with enthusiasm—and awe.
—Molly Peacock, President Emerita, Poetry Society of America

 

 

Annie Finch taught me how to discover the music in my own body.
—Patricia Smith, Winner, National Poetry Series and National Poetry Slam Champion

 

 

Finch has made a ravishing contribution . . .  Among the Goddesses cunningly becomes a stage on which are enacted inspired rituals of beauty and power. A remarkable achievement!
—J. D. McClatchy, Professor, Yale University and editor of The Yale Review

 

 

Annie Finch is an American original . . . the directness and simplicity of her poems are deceptive – they have depths and delights that appear to go on forever.
—Ron Silliman, Poet and Critic

 

 

Annie Finch has made form a one-eyed woman looking out at us all, beckoning us to enter into her arena and be.
—Sonia Sanchez, Writer, Poet, Playwright, and Activist

 

I am awed by the massive technical skill and gut-wrenching bravery of Annie Finch’s Among the Goddesses. A classic. I almost said “a feminist classic,” but that limits it too much!
—Patricia Monaghan, poet and scholar, author of The Red-Haired Girl From the Bog and The Goddess Companion 

 

Annie Finch’s beautiful reading drew the largest audience of the year’s events and elicited a stream of messages to me (as curator of the series) expressing thanks and inspiration.
—Lyn Hejinian, Poet and Director, Holloway Poetry Series, University of California, Berkeley

Annie is the teacher that many of us yearn for, and some are lucky enough to work with. There is such a need for her earth and heart-based teachings.
— Magic of Rhythmically Writing Workshop Participant

 

 

Whenever I get discouraged about some trends in American poetry, I think of Annie Finch, a shining light, and I feel better.
—Carolyn Kizer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poet
