"One of my own newest designated dreamers is the Argentine poet Maria Negroni, whose debut volume in English, Night Journey, takes the wordless logic of dreams and turns it into her own precise, oracular music. This book is pervaded by the spooky sense of a woman traveling in many directions, most of them unrequested, jouneying through shadows and mirrors, navigating ... Read morethe mysteries by shuttling between life and death."
Edward Hirsch, The Washington Post "Night Journey is a collection of prose poems, each recounting a dream sequence... Many of Negroni's dreams combine elements of surrealism and lyric narrative, which creates a matrix of symbols both archetypal and idiosyncratic through which the poet confronts generally nameless, yet recognizable, fears... It reminds me that when we read wonderful poetry it's as if we are privy to a delicious rumor, and we must pass it on."
Priscila Uppal, Toronto Globe and Mail "Arising from this intricate collection is a message. The poet comes to learn that her quest is both multiple and unified; for her, the act of writing cannot be separated from loving, from remembering, from voyagin out."
