A Hunger: Poems

A Hunger: Poems

â€œBrock-Broidoâ€™s talismanic words open into a magical territory of â€˜Domestic Mysticismâ€™ . . . A violently skewed portrait of the female poet and her Muse, a hyped-up version of Stevens and his interior paramour, locked in a soliloquy â€˜in which being there together is enoughâ€™ . . . Something in Brock-Broido likes stealth, toxicity, wildness, neonâ€”â€˜perfect mean linesâ€™ . . . The poems lead off the page.â€
â€”Helen Vendler, The New Yorker
Â
â€œThese poems are out of Stevens in the abundance, glitter, and seductiveness of their language, out of Browning in the authority of their inhabiting, and out of Plath in the ferocity and passion of their holding onâ€”to feeling, to life, and to us . . . An astonishing first book.â€
â€”Cynthia Macdonald
Â
â€œBrock-Broidoâ€™s brilliant nervosity and taste for the fantastic impel her to explore the obscure corners of the psyche and the fringes of ordinary human experience . . . The poems in A Hunger are original, strange, often unsettling, and mostly beautiful.â€
