The Critics Say:
Josephine
Jacobsen, award-winning poet and short story writer: "Extraordinary...short
stories." "Poetry" with "a depth of emotion
and simultaneous control" and "a haunting quality that
will linger in the mind."
Dr, Martin
Tucker, Editor, Confrontation:"The surface lives
of her characters are ordered and orderly, but the constant transience
of their fears refuses isolation in convenient corners of the
mind."
Alison Comey,
The Baltimore Sun: "The Stevens style...is vivid,
unsettling, spectacularly effective."
Mark Moran,
Gargoyle: "Stories...about the things we know, but
rarely have the courage to explore: death, memory, success and
failure."
Dr, Nancy
Norris, Johns Hopkins University: Stevens "probes the possibilities
and realities of violence just beneath the surface of common cordialities"
with "a rich and sophisticated language."
