HUMAN CEILING
by Diane Ward
"Ward's poems are lucid short stories of relationships in urban life. Their urge is toward meaning while she creates meaning like bright beads separated by space in looping arcs across the gap."
- Mei-mei Berssenbrugge
RELATION
by Diane Ward
"There is in all Ward's works the type of formal diversity we have come to expect from the walking wonders who comprise our most interesting poets..."All I remain'" she writes, "is precedence." It remains to those of us who read afterwards to destroy the acoustic illusion that has grown up around this work, and to begin the work of hearing this new language."
- A.L Nielson
NEVER WITHOUT ONE
by Diane Ward
"There is a richness of surface and a sure commitment to processual information in Diane Ward's writing that remind me continually of our finest gestural abstractionists. The resulting works are at once complexly layered and emotionally direct. I recommend this colleciton to everyone truly concerned with signficant new developments in the art."
- Michael Palmer
