Description
"Divine Ratios is proof that Osherow's ear remains an astonishing gift any poet writing in English would envy."--Jericho Brown "In the poems of Divine Ratios, lyric form, like passionate intellection, becomes as natural as breathing. Jacqueline Osherow is splendidly intoxicated with the plenitude of the sensuous world and the history of humans making sense through art, and grants us privileged access to this abundant realm. She is a national treasure. We have no one like her."--Linda Gregerson "There is such wisdom and music in all of Jacqueline Osherow's work, but I am especially partial to Divine Ratios, for these poems' expansive lyricism, their big-hearted cosmologies. . . . Boundless gratitude for these poems' music and deep generosity of spirit."--Ilya Kaminsky
