“In a voice that is fierce and compassionate, Kate Baer’s poems are clearheaded and direct. Here are short, sharp, prescriptive words for our 21st-century lives. They encompass growing up and growing older and the years in between. To take steps with Baer is to move forward with confidence.” (Barnes & Noble)

“In these confident and fearless poems, Baer suggests that the deepest and most vulnerable love is found in life’s imperfections.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
