In Darwin's Room

Praise

“[Greger] is an old-fashioned poet with a modern eye, bewitching in her handling of the ordinary and without a trace of opacity . . . In a collection chock-full of endearing literary references and lexical mastery, Greger manages to conjure an eternal present that reverberates with times past.” 
— Publishers Weekly

“Greger celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary through the lenses of science, art, and history. . . her vocabulary is fresh and true. . . A collection to be savored and read again and again.”
–Library Journal 

Praise for the work of Debora Greger
 
“An exemplary Greger poem occurs to the ear as a striking painting does to the eye: the
particulars of its composition emerge only after the first thrill of the whole.” —The Harvard Review
 
“Greger’s poems are like the margins of medieval illuminated manuscripts: one’s attention
drifts from the text itself to the spectral arabesques, the gold-leaf aura.” —Poetry
 
“Greger’s is a poetry that makes us hear what it wants us to see. She stalks the language,
beating it out of the wilderness, tracking it through a labyrinth of image and allusion.” —The Hudson Review
