Description:
"Angela Ball is a poet wise enough to describe love as 'a double appetite for seeing.' Her poems are suffused by a wary disappointment in romantic excitement, but with the piqued attention that accompanies desire she makes the world, so far as this can be done, the object of her desire."
--Williams Matthews
