BLAKE- PERMANENT ADDRESS-Our dense, intricate world constantly seeks new voices to express its vitality, and in Lorna Knowles Blake it has found a splendid one. The poems in Permanent Address – wistful, intimate, triumphant in their control of language yet always attuned to loss and longing – are the exhilarating example of a consciousness that is fully formed and astonishingly well-equipped to name, measure and celebrate the reality that surrounds it. -- Vijay Seshadri
