Reviews of Things and Flesh

“A particular mind is here, selecting moving, connecting, and arranging disparate elements to shape a perception that is acute, uncompromising, and sure.” —Boston Review

“From a lesser hand, such intense focus on heartbreak might be cloying, but Gregg’s style is one of brevity and distance, allowing her to state hard truths and step back.  Although the poems often turn inward, Gregg infuses them with a sense of time, place, and the importance of individuality.  The imagery is rich; the poems are fully grounded in personal experience.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Starting from heartbreak and moving towards devotion, Gregg’s fifth book of poems continues a project of formidable lyrical sincerity.” —Publishers Weekly

“Gregg writes beautiful and unabashedly spiritual poems that are free of the didactic, doctrinal or pretentious.  Hers is a spirituality laced with silence and reflection but articulate of a transcendent nature…Readers will find a rich and varied text, full of surprising turns and a God fully connected to human concerns.” —ForeWord
