Reviews
"There's a probing intellect at work beneath the often charming, even hypnotic, surface of these poems…. Blodgett is a master of the shimmering, choral effects language can attain…. Apostrophes IV is another rich and accomplished collection from a highly refined imagination.”
Harry Vandervlist, Quill & Quire
"The extraordinary beauty and vitality of Blodgett's poetry breathes world music: "the dance that dances us, of apples, grass and night".”
Nancy Clasby, ARC, Canada's National Poetry Magazine
"To read Blodgett is to dislocate oneself from the world and go floating in the cosmos.”
Shawna Lemay, Edmonton Journal
"(Apostrophes IV)…will reinvent all those favorite memories of summertime bliss.”
