"The world of Little's poems is a dark one, for sure, where "the
harm / the damage" we humans inflict - on the environment, on one
another - is rendered unflinchingly. Her poems about family, for
instance, make it clear that 'social distancing' is not just a
phenomenon of the past two years. Love is present too, often
inextricably bound up with the pain it can cause ("I keep loving
you like an old bruise / still tender") but expressed in such rich
and startling language, it is its own reward." Esther Morgan
"Opening a book by Pippa Little I know I will find the kind of
directness one can trust. There will be images that make the world
of a page real... That is what Pippa Little does so well. And she
does it with wide range, with different modes, various poetics...
we find that the landscape therein is our solitude: however
inventive it is also bare, like a person who cannot sleep and
stares and stares all night at a blank wall. Which is to say, we
recognize ourselves in these pages, our days, our questions. And
the pages fortify. Why? Because they are honest." Ilya Kaminsky
