Unlikely Skylight reviewed (Goodreads)
“Hollis Kurman offers something increasingly rare in contemporary poetry: clarity without compromise, intimacy without indulgence. After a second reading of this luminous book, one is struck not just by the craftsmanship of Kurman’s verse, but by the quiet force of her honesty.”
5-star review for Unlikely Skylight
“Kurman turns to the higher calling of beauty and pure language … display brilliant color effects and a sensitivity to harmonic adventure. It’s like they’re jewels from another world but populated with familiar birds and gardens.”
