Gioseffi's work overflows with poetic vision.

... a gifted writer.... A stunning essay [afterword]. It should be a book.

Galway Kinnell

Whatever Daniela does, she does well. Among other things, I'd put my life in her hands.... Dickinson is lucky Daniela took hers in her hands.

Grace Paley

Startlingly fresh. Animated. Voluptuous. Gioseffi's writing is mythopoeic.

Mary Pradt
Library Journal

 

Gioseffi's writing is imaginatively rich, startling, intelligent, with a wide range of reading behind it, and relevant to the most profound issues of our times.

John Logan

I like the way your essay richly evokes the life and times of Dickinson.

Robert Hass

The essay [afterword] on Dickinson is fascinating and convincing....

Daniela's is an adamant poet's world where the poem is the source of all good.
