Praise for Seasons of Change​

​

“Diana Radovan’s poems show us how the exile from history and belonging meets her own new genetics and anatomy in forest, cave, mountain and every edge of the natural world. This poetry gives voice and image to a vision in which we are creation and creators. Woven out of deep loss and a corresponding capacity for intimacy, her poetics earns a truth for readers: “It could be morning, there could be light.” from Dreams of Fog.”

- Brigid Yuknavitch, Corporeal Writing Staff

 

“Diana Radovan’s words are not afraid to dissect, to bring out trapped words of the body, of the nervous system, and the layered, emotional experiences of womanhood. Diana leans into rewilding her language as the poetry of her soul pushes boundaries, extends touch, and loves fiercely.”

- Sarah Joy Thompson, Filipina-American poet and author of 
Uprooted Orchid 

 

“Living in the seam between languages and topographies, Diana Radovan's poems sing and summon, whistling like wind over an open notebook, gazing at the ravine below. The lyric presence of nature calls us into the spaces that shape us and recreate us. As with the ancient shepherding trails of transhumance that can be found on every continent, the reader is reconnected to a type of pastoralism or nomadism, a seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures, that imagines a self without weaponized borders and walls. At a time when so many words seek to alienate us further from the vulnerable natural world, Radovan's poems refigure marvel and sublimity. They hold us in wonder and possibility, and perhaps greatest of all, in breath-taking hope.”
- Alina Stefanescu, author of My Heresies 

 

“These are poems of singular imagination, experimentation, and discipline. Radovan consistently wows with sharp turns, wild jumps and brilliant epiphanies. Her unique voice is like a vision of ancient waterfalls, full of inner wisdom.”
- Jose Hernandez Diaz, author of Bad Mexican, Bad American and
The Parachutist ​​​​
