"...Patterson has crafted a far reaching first book that blends self-interrogation with metaphysical inquiry. Both Patterson and Nightboat show great promise.-Publisher's Weekly "Juliet Patterson's poems are entirely themselves; they use time and the eye and tongue-all the body, as thought and insight, inside and outside history. The Truant Lover is a marvel."-Jean Valentine Spare, pastoral, intimate, and probing, these musically exacting poems offer arresting insights: "Here's a world for today: // killing & not dying / fantastically, not lying." They question, invent, refer, divert, take flying risks. They are fluid, considered, dignified. They celebrate the human eye, mind, and tongue. It is a joy to have them in print.-Olga Broumas
