DESCRIPTION

"The voices of the poems in 'Slope of the Child Everlasting' is fierce and compassionate. Kutchins' subtle language is akin to the subtle light depicted in her excellent poem 'The Light We Winter Under' — Hard to tell if it's fire or water, a flame or a tear.... That's one of the pleasures of the book. Like a winter sun, the penetrating light of this poetry both soothes and disturbs, embraces and rejects. This is radiant poetry, and true," writes Pattiann Rogers.
