Reviews
“This warmly loving book is hard to put down and hard to forget. Sornberger is a poet to watch.” —Library Journal
“The title poem exemplifies some of Sornberger’s strengths: a clear, emotional voice; unique but graceful metaphoric choices; an engaging theme of family connections and heritage.” —Booklist
“The poet’s control of forms holds her readers in place while Sornberger steals, retells, and resignifies women’s stories.” —Hilda Raz, editor of Prairie Schooner
“What an openness to life and its teachings, what an openness to the being of others, so that somehow they come pulsingly alive; what deep-won comprehension over years has gone into creating these poems. Truly they are titled Open Heart…struggling to illuminate for us the tangled bonds of family and love, what binds each to each, the memorable in the perishable, the marks of time’s passing, and the dear significance in the everyday.” —Tillie Olsen
