What other poets are saying about Footnote:

“What elegant control and preciseness in Trish Hopkinson's chapbook, Footnote. These response poems pay homage to the greats--artists, singers, filmmakers and other writers like Amiri Baraka, Octavio Paz, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, Rainer Maria Rilke, Ai, Janis Joplin, and Pablo Neruda. In "A Room Made of Poetry," a found poem from Laura Hamblin's The Eyes of a Flounder, Hopkinson writes: "Here you can wait,/ with desire, with/ roots exposed/ for an open womb. That heart-balm/ as hope./ The raw bent/-- a bowl of fruit/ in a language I never knew . . ." This is exactly the feeling these poems evoke: in the rhythm of response and found poems, and forms like reverse snowballs and erasures, Hopkinson covers so much ground, giving readers a taste of art from across the centuries and the world. Footnote must simply be savored and re-read.”

-Nicole Rollender, author of Louder Than Everything You Love and Ghost Tongue

“In Trish Hopkinson’s chapbook, Footnote, she writes, “The human past stands still,” yet she manages to bring these pasts back to life with response poems that converse with and memorialize not only poets, but also filmmakers and musicians. Take these lines, describing an experience of listening to Janis Joplin: The maniac screams. / Her lips touch my face. / Her palm presses madly / at the back of my neck, squeezes my collar and jerks / me in neurotic movement. Reader, you are in for delight from the first poem to the last.”

–Bernard Grant, author of Puzzle Pieces
