<p>Poetry. "As beautiful as [these poems] are on paper, they are musical in the way old-fashioned rhyming poems are: they go into you and stay. Her courage to tell the truth wins our confidence. I don't know of any books of poetry that address subjects that are so difficult to talk about (a son's death, abuse of another son. the violence in her marriage). These poems skirt the pitfalls of autobiographical writing because of their unsparing look at the speaker, and because of their lucidity in form, emotion, and idea.

<p>Poetry. "In THE ATHEIST'S PRAYER Madeline Tiger never forgets, even in the most intimate moments, that 'truth is...like the old inveterate river that holds clouds.' Tiger encompasses, with a tender embrace, a life made whole; her ministrations do not deny it sorrows, and she is glad to celebrate its hard-won triumphs. I don't know when I have ever been allowed to contemplate the intricacies of the personal so unflinchingly and to understand that, beyond the window, there is a vast untempered world, a glorious one. It is the caring in these quietly intelligent poems which makes living in this world possible"--Burt Kimmelman.</p>
