Review:

"She flies as high as you can go. . . . Bold and convincing. . . . Exemplary. . . . A rich book."

-The New York Times Book Review

"The chapter on Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy' will take the top of your head off!" -James Wolcott

"As entertaining as it is dazzingly erudite, Break, Blow, Burn is capable of re-energizing any reader's engagement with poetry."

-Francine du Plessix Gray, The Week

"I hope a lot of people read this book. . . . There wasn't a commentary where I didn't learn something about the poem in question, no matter how familiar the poem was." -Philip Marchand, Toronto Star

"It will have students storming the walls of tomorrow's English departments, mad for poetry again." -St. Petersburg Times

"Dazzling. . . . Bursts with her ingenuity. . . . Brilliant insights . . . permeate the book. . . . Readers receive a marvelous education."

-Rocky Mountain News

"Paglia's vision is always fresh. . . . She makes a fascinating and challenging reading companion. These essays will inspire anyone to turn back to poetry again." -The Times (London)
