Praise for Anne Simpson and Is:
“With the experimentalism of Anne Carson and the imagism of Anne Michaels, Anne Simpson explores the globe of the heart.” —Halifax Chronicle-Herald
“Anne Simpson’s voice is instantly recognizable…. [She writes] poems of extraordinary range, intelligence, and empathy.”—Jury citation, Pat Lowther Memorial Award
“Simpson turns our attention to the sharp edges of life, and she does it with language that juxtaposes beauty with death, creating internal tension in the poems. Simpson looks at death and loss with an unsentimental eye.”—Canadian Literature
