What others say about Jane Joritz-Nakagawa
Without the least strain, Jane Joritz Nakagawa takes readers on a carnivalesque tour of American culture in language that splices together the strange heights and depths of the terrain. Her ear is tuned to what makes the language live and there's eye candy too: lithe cuts and jumps that make each line worthy of notice. Exhibit C is a rare pleasure.
—Maxine Chernoff
Jane Joritz-Nakagawa’s poems partake readily in the pleasures of freshly arranged particles and atoms of language. Frequenting a realm of happy appropriation, she daringly reorders and disrupts conventional poetic expectations - and she often conducts this pretty quickly. Readers, be alert.
—Pam Brown
There are few poets who can render emotion with such ferocity and intelligence.
—Paul Hoover
