"Ann Townsend writes the romance of "everyday" life in Dime Store Erotics but the exquisite act of her affection makes every minute a precipice, every detail an opening door — not into the dime store but out into the spinning original dimensions of her lyric consciousness. She is an intoxicating poet." -- Carol Muske
