Review Quotes
"Nelson's writing is fluid - to read her story is to drift dreamily among her thoughts" --Praise for The Argonauts, Huffington Post
"Maggie Nelson writes like no one else on the planet" --Praise for The Argonauts, Jezebel "One of the great gifts of Nelson's writing is how it embodies the process of her mind at work" --Praise for The Argonauts, Los Angeles Review of Books "Nelson is so outrageously gifted a writer and thinker" --Praise for The Argonauts, Washington Post "Nelson's poems move fast, think on their feet, hit and run with equal parts of humor; glamor and horror. In every way, she is a thoroughly original voice for our time." --Elaine Equi "Maggie Nelson [is] so much better than anything I've read for a long, long time" --Praise for The Argonauts, Karl Ove Knausgaard "I read The Argonauts in one breathless, tearful, mind-blown day and I'm still recovering" --Praise for The Argonauts, Miranda JulyAbout the Author
