"Irreverent and solemn, frivolous and dour, ornate and simple—Coggeshall's verse is difficult to describe because it attempts, and often achieves, a myriad of tones. Berryman, Hopkins, and Dickinson have exerted a strong influence on Coggeshall, and the reader occasionally is more taken with her style than her content. This
is not such a bad thing at all because it means that she is attending carefully to the most fundamental aspects of her craft. And since she is a young poet, her attention to these matters is a promising sign." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
