"One of the wonderful things about "Jimmy & Rita" is that
Kim Addonizio never imposes herself in any way, so the poems sing
themselves into us. We experience the victories and defeats of
Jimmy and Rita as they struggle through the boundless
claustrophobia of their world. I think of them and there is a sense
of sadness within me. Yet I think of what Addonizio has
accomplished and I feel joy."--Hubert Selby, Jr " Kim Addonizio's
work is distinguished by two of the rarest qualities in American
poetry: a sense of dramatic life on the page and a sense of class
consciousness. Both are evident in "Jimmy & Rita," a book that
streams with the fragmented unity, pace and visceral immediacy of a
film: --Stuart Dybeck
