Most of all, Pat is a generous poet – sharing so much of her life, so richly, and from every facet of her life. A good reader is moved to say “Thank you, Pat” at the end of each poem.
-Phil Hey, senior fiction editor of The Briar Cliff Review
Pat Underwood writes with the clear unburdened voice of a master story teller whose stories are revealed underneath her spare and carefully crafted lines. I love that her work avoids the self-conscious obscurity of much contemporary poetry and instead trusts the readers to find their own stories within her words. I look forward to more from Pat.
-James A. Autry, Author, On Paying Attention: New and Selected Poems
“We see only/as we see each other,” Pat Underwood says at the end of “Washing in the Pool of Siloam.” And Portraits is full of vivid people–from friends and family to historical figures like Richard Leaky and Martin Luther King. But Underwood’s seeing extends most beautifully to the natural world of birds, flowers and weather that wraps and defines the human world. Readers of Mary Oliver will recognize this kind of “seeing,” but the voice unmistakably and uniquely belongs to Pat.
-Keith Ratzlaff, Then a Thousand Crows
