These small pleasures of intelligent thoughtful, and thought-provoking poems will warm the reader's heart.
-Sandra Costich
An old song tells us that Little things mean a lot, and rarely has this been as true as it is in Small Pleasures, Nikia Leopold's bittersweet engagements with a glorious and mortal world. The title poem describes Pleasures with the heft of tinsel, / so small they're irreducible. Also irreducible are these sharply observed, precisely crafted poems that contain, and provoke, depths of feeling.
-Michael Palma
If you want to be moved, read these poems.
-Julia Wendell
Niki Leopold is an exquisite receiver-of sensory news, complex emotions, hints of meaning. Her poems are passionate, delicate, fierce, brave.
-Mary Azrael
The sparse, finely made poems in Niki Leopold's Small Pleasures possess the intricacy of snowflakes, each crystalline portrait revealing the wonder of existence encountered in an ordinary moment.
-Pauline Uchmanowicz
