-Cynthia Huntington, Finalist, National Book Award in Poetry, Professor Emeritus at Dartmouth College
There is joy in reading Ina Anderson's poems in Sky Furniture. Some are sad, as befits the human condition and our times, while others poke and challenge us. But more often her poems reveal the magic of everyday, powerfully remembered and gracefully rendered. Anderson can be a loved child and a lost tribe, the past and the future, buffeted by environmental disaster and sustained by beloved surroundings and the people in her life. Her talent is to bring us along with her.
-Gus Speth, author of Let Your Tears Water the Earth, former Dean, Yale School of the Environment
Sky Furniture, Ina Anderson's new collection, offers childhood memory and magic along with stark observations of our broken world. As a world traveler, she portrays the beauty and tension within diverse traditions. She draws the reader through her rooted life in England's Lake District where lambs and their shepherd families were born knowing their place on the fells. Change disrupts this harmony. On the side of the road you will notice / a dead jacket, leaking polyester. / You will mistake it for a sheep. At the same time, she is able to spin the fleece of each poem into the finest yarn, color it with lichens into purple, and bring the utmost pleasure to any reader.
-Verandah Porche, poet and writing partner, Sudden Eden, The Body's Symmetry, Glancing Off
