"Som den første kvinde i Norden udsendte Pia Tafdrup i 1991 en poetik. ""Over vandet går jeg"" er specifikt knyttet til hendes eget lyriske projekt. Formen er skitsens, der spørges, mere end der svares. Men med sin insisteren og manglende angst for det patetiske markerede værket sig som et personligt og kompromisløst udsagn."
