****Jerome Rothenberg has written about Margo Berdeshevsky's book, "Between Soul & Stone" and he has quoted 2 poems from the book, ("Blackouts," & "Again the Cradle," ) on his site POEMS AND POETICS  http://poemsandpoetics.blogspot.com/2011/10/margo-berdeshevsky-from-between-soul.html 

*****a Rave review for "Between Soul & Stone"@ Powell's Books: "... Her latest book, Between Soul and Stone, is incredible. This may sound trite, but I can't help but identify Berdeshevsky's work as being like a gossamer web: intensely beautiful, painstakingly crafted into textually dense strands of poetic light. "

*****latest review of "Between Soul & Stone": " Reader, ... important, beautiful contemporary collections that, in unique ways, deal with themes that should concern us all. Buy them, read them, re-read them, teach them, gift them, emulate them. They are worthy. (A) poet of supreme grace …is Margo Berdeshevsky, author of the collection Between Soul and Stone (Sheep Meadow Press/2011)… exhibits consistent, magical, transformative lyricism both of image and sound. With Berdeshevsky, one is reminded, for instance, of Company, by Samuel Beckett... Berdeshevsky circles around and around her themes like a bird of prey. "   …from a new review by Melissa Studdard,  appearing in Pleiades,                                     [autumn/winter issue/ 2012]

because I love this line...

‎"Before the lunge of the night, the notes on this time-shaken/ Stone for the sake of the souls of the slain birds sailing." [Dylan Thomas]

& because I honor this Borges line...

...The night: "And to think it would not exist/ if not for those tenuous instruments, the eyes."— [Jorge Luis Borges]
