These 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 on to feeling, to life, and to us . . . An astonishing first book.

Brock-Broido 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 Hungerare original, strange, often unsettling, and mostly beautiful.
