Review
“Maureen Seatons register is enormous, her verbal daring and wayfaring breathtaking; while the solidity of her skill—whether in renewing received prosody or in formal invention—underpins a worldview that might otherwise be vertiginously frightening. Little Ice Age, her fourth book, is a marvel. She writes so much that has not been written, that has needed utterance in poetry OR prose—about violence and eroticism, about womens desire, about the intersection of emotions, mathematics and history—and she write it indelibly. Read it and weep; read it and wonder; read it and gasp; read it and open your own notebook—but read it.” —Marilyn Hacker
