"The blinding intensity of Ms. Gregg's lines stains the reader's psyche the way lightning or heartache do."-Joseph Brodsky "Love, death and longing are archetypal presences in Gregg's intense, sundrenched lyrics, which have been compared to archaic Greek poetry."- Publishers Weekly "Beautifully crafted poems, vulnerably sensitive, at once piercingly generous and starkly tough-minded . . ."-William Arrowsmith
