The Patience Of Metal
Yvonne Zipter
Here is a fresh, bold and compelling book about the redeeming powers of earthly love in a life saturated with loss. — Letter eX, April 1991, #62
There are . . . poems of strength and beauty here, where the voice, the emotion, the sound, the figures of speech, and the shape of the poem all come together to speak in a spare and contemporary manner of deep feeling and, often embarrassing experiences. — Washington Blade, July 6, 1990
Yvonne Zipter’s work struck me as forcefully as that of every woman poet I take seriously: Clampett, Grahn, Harjo, Kizer, Klepfisz, Lorde, Mueller, Pratt, Rich, Sanchez, and others. . . . These poems are better than M & Ms, because even after you’ve devoured them (and you will!) you’ll still have them! Read them aloud, let the sounds linger in your head. — Outlines, May 1990
