| Maggie Robbins's Suzy Zeus is a deadpan dead-on character - nobody's nice girl - whose life in hypnotic verse is boldly told. Powerful, dark, and hard to forget.

| Maggie Robbins has a vocabulary, a rhythm, a diction, and a message that are hers and hers alone. Her writing is tough, brazen, exuberant, and ironic; and yet it is touched, always, with a spirit of great generosity and tenderness.

| Suzy Zeus Gets Organized is a singular and wonderful work. I was delighted and moved by it. Maggie Robbins has created an extraordinary character whose dilemmas subtly and bracingly tell us about the way we live now.

| With mordant humor and infinite pluck, Suzy catapults through men, work, religion, and the minefield of her own neuroses. And always - indubitably, inevitably, deliciously - in rhyme. Though written in the cadences of childhood, Suzy Zeus Gets Organized is unmistakably adult. These are thrilling and infectious poems, a stunning piece.
