"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."
                                                                  ~ Eavan Boland
