I deeply admire the intelligent and passionate poetry of Pansy Maurer–Alvarez. … Perhaps paradoxically, as a poet she is both distant and painfully close, chilly and burning, … In a quiet way, her poems even have the ability to make ordinary words strange. Elinor Nauen

Pansy Maurer–Alvarez is … able to translate all the seen and unseen promptings of the day into colorful, sometimes surreal, imagery and musical lines. Harvey Shapiro
