Reach

by Janet E. Aalfs

“Janet Aalfs is, simply, one of our best contemporary poets…[Her] poems celebrate the body from a knowledge of it that is utter artistry…They open possibilities not only for the body, but for what it wants, what it needs, and what may be in store beyond.”

—Peregrine

“Aalfs’ poetic talent…[reminds] me of the central role of mindfulness in a poet’s approach to the world.”

—Lambda Book Report

“Aalfs is that rare poet whose writing encompasses both body and spirit in a seamless whole.”

—The Women’s Times
