About Apocalypse Mix:

"Jane Satterfield's challenging new collection bristles with history. It is rich with unearthed, recalled, and juxtaposed relics, whether of pop music, yoga poses, or implements of former wars turned vintage memorabilia. Satterfield's poetry enacts what one of the powerful prose poems here calls 'this angel's transmission across time and space,'?and we readers are the beneficiaries."
—Rachel Hadas

"From her brilliant debut collection, Shepherdess With an Automatic, to this remarkable new collection, Apocalypse Mix, Jane Satterfield has offered her readers some of the most lyrically graceful and historically reflective collections in American poetry. Always illuminated by intellectually provocative perspectives, these poems balance their raw psychological undercurrents with a calm and masterful stylistic authority. Jane Satterfield’s work weaves the reader into its fabric of individual and historical circumstance, as well within the dense foliation of personal experience. This is a powerful poetry of great clarity, urgency, and superb accomplishment."
—David St. John

"What a terrible, difficult, contradictory world we're living in. Thank god we have Jane Satterfield's beautifully conceived, beautifully executed poems to guide us."
—Beth Ann Fennelly
