| "Lord these are lovely poems. And I mean lovely, not pretty, not sweet. From the title to the final lines
(" -- that parting gesture -- / almost better to put it off, to keep rising / and rising again")
the book shines with radiant truth and honesty. Farnsworth folds in current demotic language
but more than balances it with timeless language which would translate to any other: "Am I just now /
noticing how wonderful it is to breathe? / how like nectar the air? ? I drink it in, this sweet stir..."
[ ... ] she is strongest when least restricted, when free to listen to the poem as a free whole.
Bodies of Water, Bodies of Light is among the most distinguished books of new poetry."
