wonderful

This is a great book of poetry. Prof Jordan's work is insightful and gives this reader that smile of ah-hah that only Mary Oliver and Lisel Mueller have thus far accomplished.

Barbara Jordan: poetry of sublime

Barbara Jordan does what no one else has done before. Her poetry is a door ajar to the beauty and the mystery of what we know but have forgotten. Elegiac wisdom, a symphony of unseen, her poetry makes the deepest, the most wondorous discoveries. This is a very major poet. We need her words as we need air, water and bread. TRACE ELEMENTS is one of the most important books I've read in this decade. I bow my head. Bravo!
