[McLarney] writes uncompromising, honest poems that sound like no one else…" -The Rumpus Her important poems sing...with the lyric wisdom of the best poetry.” -Andrew Hudgins "One of the finest mythmakers in contemporary Appalachian letters is Rose McLarney." -The Millions “I think, for now anyway, the momentum of southern poetry is with female poets: Ellen Bryant Voigt, Natasha Trethewey, the late Claudia Emerson, and now, perhaps, Rose McLarney.” -Blue Stem McLarney makes things matter. Her poems make you feel very deeply connected--under the skin, in the bone--and therefore more acutely alive.” -Robert Wrigley |
