"These direct, loving, sober poems are the change we need from most recent verse. The intensity of the opening poems in "Old & New Testaments" builds throughout the book until, almost intolerable, it transforms into profound acceptance, the quietness that comes of acknowledging both life and death. These images and rhythms need no persuasiveness beyond themselves, brightening our spirits with the clarity of reality." A. R. Ammons"
"Lynn Powell's "Old & New Testaments" is a reclaiming of spiritual texts and traditions for a woman's life in the body a life of childhood physicality, female sexuality, procreation, and nurturing love. Playful, tender, and wise, Powell brings her gospel learning down to earth. We can hail her poems in an old phrase with a new meaning: they are full of grace." Alicia Ostriker"
"A radiance and clarity suffuses Lynn Powell's work."
--Carolyn Kizer, Brittingham Prize Citation
"In Lynn Powell's poems we rediscover the meaning of the word 'testament, ' for they give us a full testimony of a life, a family, a world. Whether writing of grief, or the Rapture, of a junebug or Aunt Roxy at the age of one hundred, she brings us intense, crafted narratives of self-knowledge, of facts so vivid they are painful, becoming signs and also wonders of life. These are poems of the recovery of spiritual desire. This is an extraordinary book, and an extraordinary new talent."--Robert Morgan
