    "The poems and prose-poems of Small Salvations, written literally in the mother tongue, record the history of—what shall we call it—an obsession, a love, an identity? The mysterious relation of a woman to her mother, from childhood until long after the mother's death, is here traced, suggested, revealed, in language of the utmost sensuous precision." — Alicia Ostriker
