Reviews for Ledger (Iowa Poetry Prize)
Susan Wheeler is an exuberant, subtle, endlessly inventive original, and Ledger marks a wonderful advance in her already vital contribution to American poetry. Best of all in Ledger's varied pleasures is 'The Debtor in the Convex Mirror,' an intricate splendor and triumphant fusion of technique and vision. - Harold Bloom, author of Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?
