Praise for Gail Wronsky’s poetry:

“Wronsky is unafraid to try to nail down feelings that are part of the eternal, macabre romance between life and death…her project is important.”

— Karen Kevorkian, Los Angeles Review of Books

Wronsky’s poems and Gronk’s drawings are equally grounded in poetic imagery. Wronsky mixes vernacular diction, or spoken language, with a more formal style in a way that is entirely unique; Gronk’s signature style alludes to both street art and classical art. Both are committed to making memorable work that surprises and delights, that sharpens and feeds our everyday lives as well as our deepest selves. More about the book

This book collects over four decades of work by this unique and imaginative poet. Wronsky's poems, informed by her reading of classical texts as well as contemporary poetics, explore feminism, environmentalism, and mortality in language that is both multi-layered and musical. At times dark and at times humorous, her poems speak to our strengths as well as our frailties. More about this book & read selected poems

“In these intensely female, lively luscious songs it's Colette meets Beyonce meets Lil Mama meets Cixous and in comes Kristeva meets Molly Bendall meets Gail Wronsky, and therefore streams continual surprise—eros kisses big bad boogie man theory and ‘word as noose’ slang jumpstarts high-flown lingo and it's all so playful and yet deadly serious—how these poems issue from one urgent, collective, Medusa-like mouth, one it's high time is heard.” —Gillian Conoley

"Any other poet with Gail Wronsky’s gift for sheer gorgeousness―for the sensuous image, for shapeliness, for the ever-unfolding ever-mobile vocal line―would call it a day. But Wronsky’s intellect is of a larger order: restless, irreverent, wittily attuned to the force-fields of cultural fashion and to the depths those fashions bespeak." ―Linda Gregerson Read selected poems

“Whether paying tribute to literary icons such as Walt Whitman and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, or examining global and cultural degradation, Wronsky proves to be a poet of sharp wit and endearing wonder. The crowning jewel of Dying for Beauty is ‘Desdemona,’ a nearly book-length lyric that alternates between meditation and dramatization, between discourse and incantation. “ —The Boston Review
