The White Eyelash

–The New Yorker

“[A] brilliant debut. A powerful and practiced repertory of formal gestures including a startling backhand of wit and irony. Susan Kinsolving takes what is before our eyes and disappearing . . . and makes it last.” –The New York Times Book Review

Dailies & Rushes

“The passion, playfulness, and regret in these wonderful poems will make many women think this book was written just for them.” –Susan Cheever

“Susan Kinsolving’s poems skate with a dark elegance on the thin ice between the upper air and a deepening sorrow, between the day’s figures and memory’s pattern. But she’s headed towards love: the distant shore, the beckoning warmth; and by the end of Dailies & Rushes she has gotten herself–and, to our delight and gratitude, brought us as well–triumphantly there.” –J. D. McClatchy

Among Flowers

In this captivating mixed bouquet of art and letters, two contemporary talents take a fresh look at familiar flora– and transport lovers of poetry, painting, and flowers to a garden of delights and surprises.

Among her pointed observations in verse, poet Susan Kinsolving considers the tulip as history (“Tulipomania”), the eyesight of a celebrated gardener (“Gertrude Jekyll’s Myopia”), and the buoyant beauty of winter bloom (“Forcing Amaryllis”).
