PRAISE FOR JULIE KANE

“Those who have seen Kane perform her poems . . . will have enjoyed her girlish, mischievous, and charmingly self-deprecating presence onstage. But to be alone in a room with the poems is a rather different experience—you realize the voice has more of the sass and wisecracks of a film noir dame—smart, unsentimental, funny, sexually frank, alternately vulnerable and dangerous.”

~A. E. Stallings, Light magazine

“Kane is a boomers’ Edna St. Vincent Millay.” ~Natalie Jacobson McCracken, Bostonia magazine

“She’s a wonderful formalist, but there’s a touch of the anarchist in every line.” ~Mary A. McCay, New Orleans Times-Picayune

“Wickedly clever Julie Kane is our twenty-first-century Dorothy Parker.” ~Molly Peacock

“The physical in Kane’s poetry is so intensely, humanly physical that it shines, a shining that attracts the feelings and lights the mind.” ~A. R. Ammons
