"Bullies in Love" by Jendi Reiter is a remarkable book of poetry. In praise, Nancy White, administrator of The Word Works Washington Prize, said, "How can one voice be so raw and so refined? How can a poet so fiercely female speak more universally than those who deny our differences? The electrifying paradoxes of art and life snap from every page here as Reiter names the driving forces of her life-our lives." ---Charlie Bondhus, author of "All the Heat We Could Carry" (Main Street Rag, 2013), said, "Lyric, narrative, prose poem...in all her work Jendi Reiter is constantly innovating, injecting…mehr

"Bullies in Love" by Jendi Reiter is a remarkable book of poetry. In praise, Nancy White, administrator of The Word Works Washington Prize, said, "How can one voice be so raw and so refined? How can a poet so fiercely female speak more universally than those who deny our differences? The electrifying paradoxes of art and life snap from every page here as Reiter names the driving forces of her life-our lives." ---Charlie Bondhus, author of "All the Heat We Could Carry" (Main Street Rag, 2013), said, "Lyric, narrative, prose poem...in all her work Jendi Reiter is constantly innovating, injecting her lines with fresh, sharp language and taut, piercing images which yes, surprise, exhilarate, and delight, but also force the reader to rethink their relationships to social forces. The nature of love and desire are here, but so are family, faith, the body, the natural world, pop culture...even a few stray cats. Jendi explores these as both priestess and stand-up comedian, deploying reverence and humor (sometimes at the same time), and gazing upon whimsy and atrocity with equal scrutiny."--- Ruth Thompson, author of "Woman with Crows," commented: "Bitter, tender, contained, full of pain and hilarity, this fiercely intelligent collection begins with one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. 'Inconsolable joy,' Reiter writes to her newborn son. 'Motherless, I mother.' Within this grace all questions resolve: 'Each glinting wavelet a day of my history,/washing my hands as I lose it.' The history to be known and released includes childhood abuse, and cruelties both familial and social...In these poems, theology becomes concrete and passionate."
