Critical Commentary
On A Fish Jumps to Lick the Moon
“Reading Delphine Cuomo’s poetry is like entering a sacred pool of ancient water, where what lies under the surface resembles the silk tapestry of dream, gratitude-praise, and the shining center of the human heart, and about, the honest earth and startling bright sky.
Craig Nielsen (Touch of Grace)
On Venus in the Badlands:
“You dig into the earth, where the earthy people are…poetry that’s grounded and a little bit outlaw, nonacademic: it’s Beat, it’s street, it’s desert, it’s open spaces, it’s landscape, it’s human.”
- John Macker, poet and editor of Desert Shovel Review.
”Macker contacted the poets he knew and others he had studied for years. Their goal: to ‘map the present coordinates of contemporary poetry in America.’”
-
