Don’t be deceived by the fact that this is the author’s first published collection. Madeleine Crouse is a poet in full stride and rhythm with her craft. These narrative poems in The Edge Of The Sky have lyrical punch – musical language, powerful and sometimes spellbinding imagery and surprising, yet just right, enjambments which cause you to already look forward to her next book and the next.
–Jerry Judge, author of Luna Moth and Writing at the Waffle House
Rating: ***** [5 of 5 Stars!]
Madeleine Crouse’s poems brilliantly direct us, in their brevity and quietly penetrating language, into an expansiveness of mind and discovery that makes her new collection, The Edge of the Sky, hard to leave once we finish reading it. And, yes, we want stay longer. These poems make us realize how unfortunately easy it is for one to take, especially, the natural world for granted. Crouse’s true gift as a poet is to gorgeously – and with constant honesty – magnify experiences that are hers, yet similarly engage and stun us with the ongoing swirl of human touch, struggle, and beauty. I know that I’ll always be waiting for and closely reading what Madeleine Crouse writes next.
–Jeffrey Hillard poet and professor of English, Mount St. Joseph University
