"Hildred Crill's poems exist on the border between the inner and outer landscape. They believe in invisibility, in the poet's right to invent her world. When she asks 'What enters the lack?' we feel the fullness of words entering space, the poem on the brink of creation. Crill is a poet of surprise and sometimes fright, a poet for whom language is a kind of magic: 'I lick the sparks on my palm/ and the entire world is spoken.' What a joy to read these haunted, original poems."--Anne Marie Macari.
