“Crystal Warren has distilled the art of poetry to its rarefied essence.
Her words are simple and immediately accessible, but reward multiple
re-readings and long scrutiny. She contemplates the divine with the same
rapt attention that she gives to the vicissitudes of children. The fear
that runs like a dark thread through this collection is the dread of
being silenced or unheard – a poet’s fear of having her voice taken
away. Predictive Text ensures that this fear is moot, because Warren’s
words will certainly live on.”
