She is a superb lyric poet.” —Gerald SternPraise for Kimiko Hahn’s previous work: “Following the impulse of the brush, Kimiko Hahn composes a journey that is, by turns, lyrical, provocative, meditative, gritty, intuitive, revelatory, and, ultimately, unforgettable.” —Arthur Sze“Reading Kimiko Hahn’s The Unbearable Heart, you have the sense of someone tearing the past apart and rebuilding with naked, raw hands. The work is furious, flawed and absolutely necessary.” —Adrienne Rich“Kimiko Hahn uses the extremes of human experience to examine the deep trouble and struggles of desire, the covert ties that bind together ordinary lovers, parents, and children. Rigorous intelligence, fierce anger, and finally a deep vulnerability inform these poems.” —Mark Doty“These are poems with a zest for everything. Kimiko Hahn has made a memorable narrative and marked it with a haunting voice.” —Eavan Boland.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>She is a superb lyric poet.
