"Whether celebrating the mundane, recounting the estrangement between mother and daughter, contemplating sex and religion, or grieving the loss of a loved one, poem after poem is imbued with nerve, wit, grace--and heart. We need more poetry like this, poetry that is as profound and poignant as it is bold and lyrical. Quite simply, Red Radio Heart is a gift."-- Mary A. Koncel
"The Muse for Perel's new book of poems is Artemis of Ephesus, mother and goddess of fertility living in exile in the scorched twenty-first century."--Bruce Smith
