“Red contains poems of such elegant form that the power of Braverman’s already moving elegies is compounded.”
—Dennis Loy Johnson, Mobylives.com
“An ebullient and very believable voice…disarming and charming….”—Publishers Weekly
“With a generosity of spirit, an instinct for the lyric and a fiction writer’s gift for narrative structure, Braverman keeps us moving through the overlapping circles of a particular place and time.”—Readerville

“Melanie Braverman’s poems are a house with all the doors and windows open; the winds of feeling blow through them, and make everything alive with change, alert with a kind of freshness and possibility.” —Mark Doty
“Intelligence, inquisitiveness, candor, and wit wedded to molecular intuition — Melanie Braverman’s poems emit fierce equanimity and grace.” —Olga Broumas
