Reviews
"To read Blodgett is to dislocate oneself from the world and go floating in the cosmos." Shawna Lemay, Edmonton Journal
"There's a probing intellect at work beneath the often charming, even hypnotic, surface of these poems.. Blodgett is a master of the shimmering, choral effects language can attain.. Apostrophes IV is another rich and accomplished collection from a highly refined imagination." Harry Vandervlist, Quill & Quire
"(Apostrophes IV).will reinvent all those favorite memories of summertime bliss."
"The extraordinary beauty and vitality of Blodgett's poetry breathes world music: "the dance that dances us, of apples, grass and night"." Nancy Clasby, ARC, Canada's National Poetry Magazine
