The poems in Pamela Hobart Carter's Earth at Perihelion hold luminous visions of our immense home. Earth itself is a leading character. The deep past-of geology, mythology, and cosmology-returns to the present as music and insight. Creeks mumble in their own language; persons sit among fat marmots. Family intimacies include a mother's love poem to her daughter and an aunt as entranced with polliwogs as the poet is. A wondrous book, a gift.
-Priscilla Long, author of Crossing Over: Poems and Holy Magic
The language in Earth at Perihelion is brilliant, sibilant, imaginative, haunting, vulnerable, and above all, precise, spanning time, epochs, and geological truths.
-Risa Denenberg, author of Rain/Dweller
