Reviews'Kelly's poems are dramatic, intricate and immensely moving...Reading her, I experience the pleasures I first had in reading poems many years ago: the excitement and energy.' Washington Post'Song is a splendid book, a lyrical tour de force with a fierceness that many lyrics don't approach...The writing here is strikingly idiosyncratic, compelling and thought-provoking.' Boston Book Review'The poems [in The Orchard] vibrate with the intensity and luminosity of a daring intelligence.' Antioch Review
