Reviews
THE world which Louise Townsend Nichell explores in her poems is small, but the largest that we know. Within it she moves surely, easily, always on familiar ground. It is an anthropocentric world, in which time is measured in heartbeats, and in which the supreme miracle is the transmutation of human experience into poetry.[20]
