Praise for Carol Muske-Dukes' Twin Cities In Twin Cities Carol Muske-Dukes traverses geographical borders, political fault lines and personal thresholds . . . the lighter voice in this collection is sometimes heartbreakingly lovely, while the darker voice is bold and edgy. - The Washington Post A meditation on the way the world is doubled in the self, in literature, and in the world around us . . . the pleasure in this collection of poems is the multiplicity of meaning. - The Rumpus Like the fabric of any individual's experience, or like the map of any city, the shape of this book shifts and recombines when seen from any one perspective. But at the same time, the poems stay firmly grounded in their emotional depths. And this is what makes Muske-Dukes such a vital poet. - The Los Angeles Review of Books
