“Suzanne Edison’s gorgeously lyrical collection Since the House Is Burning understands one of the most important principles of poetry: that it first be a pleasure in language. Of course, these are often bittersweet pleasures, if a poet is willing to tell the truth of her experience as Edison does here (in this case, as a wife, mother, daughter; as citizen of a world on fire and a caretaker to many). Musically adept, formally precise, both clear eyed and unfailingly empathetic in its worldview, it’s a beautiful book-one any thoughtful reader of poetry will be glad to know.”
— Erin Belieu, author of Come-Hither, Honeycomb, from Copper Canyon Press
"Since the House is Burning, offers a complex and intimate response to conditions over which anyone might experience helplessness—ranging from illness and aging, to school shootings and wildfires."
— Risa Denenberg, from River Mouth Review
