Advance Praise for The Book of Ocean:
… Her language is luminous, astonishing in its range, transcendent. Time conflates, narrative breaks through, language is the connective by which vastly disparate concepts – love, snow, mathematics, gravity – flow one to another, reported with meticulous grace.
Judith Roitman
… Larkin has pulsed the pattern of her words with poised delays & intervals, with the understanding that poetry is an art of passage, powered by surgence & pause: “ life lined blue words deep / sea of circumstance.” This work is informed by a counterpoint of time & vision … a poetry of arabesque, which presents a perfect, & perhaps paradoxical, synthesis of enthusiasm & irony.
Andrew Joron
