"Annie Lighthart writes purely magical poems -- they will rivet and change you, in all good ways."
~ Naomi Shihab Nye
"...Nearly every poem in this brilliant debut book ventures into unknown territory. The authority of the voice, which I trust, comes from the knowledge brought home from these excursions, which are truly original...Iron String is a startling, masterful, surprising collection...."
~ Chase Twichell
"The poems in Iron String offer the obvious pleasures of precise observation and lyric awareness. But they offer much more as well: This excellent debut collection shows us how detail and dailyness can be chiseled into a compelling shape by cadence and craft."
