Rembrandt's Smock

One of the century's great voices. One thinks of Emily Dickinson more than any other poet. <br> Cassandra Robison poet and editor The Artistry of Life<br><br> Strongin's pigmented words flow in linseed. She explores rivers of language like a stalwart oars-woman who pulls with the current. Beneath there lies a tremendous body of movement and music. Readers float - securely protected by Strongin's mastery - just above it. <br> Eve Anthony Hanninen artist & editor The Centrifugal Eye<br><br> Strongin's sharp always surprising sense of image her compassion for those who suffer attrition and isolation have made me a fan from the first. It's a privilege to read and then return to the place where her imagination takes in the world.<br> Jordan Smith poet<br><br> Reading Strongin I am transported into what I think of as the Classic Universe of World Poetry. Strongin exists in a mind-world which she transforms into her psychological landscape. <br>True solitude is inward where one can cultivate one's crop of secrets. Strongin's creativity takes the world inside herself turning it into her own private art-world then bringing us inside with her.<br> Hugh Fox poet and critic<br><br>
