    • Reviews

    "Is Women's Poetry a masterpiece? It surely locates Fried among the masterful American poets of her generation." Jason Guriel on Women's Poetry: Poems and Advice in PN Review.<

    "Vivid...biting...hilarious..." Matthew Brennan on Women's Poetry: Poems and Advice in the New York Times.

    "The satirical tone here is delicious and the social observation is shrewd...Fried's deftly colloquial surfaces are deceptively charming, often sweetening the bitter with comedy but never denying bitterness."—Sandra Gilbert on My Brother is Getting Arrested Again, Poetry, February 2007.

    "A clear-headed refusal to paper over the weaknesses and foolishnes of human beings runs through this book...Fried manages to balance keen, even savage social criticism with an underlying generosity."—Jeff Gundy on My Brother is Getting Arrested Again, Georgia Review, Winter 2007.

    "Fried...crystallizes our American moment with candor and precision." —-Fred Muratori on My Brother is Getting Arrested Again, Boston Review, November/December 2006.

    The painter Jane Freilicher once remarked of her friend John Ashbery that he appeared to have “stepped in the fame shit.” This seems to be the case also with Fried, who is on a prize-winning streak, having claimed the Pew Fellowship, the Hodder Fellowship, the Agnes Lynch Starrett prize, the Pushcart, Ploughshares’ Cohen Award, and most recently the Grace Hazard Conkling Writer-in-Residence at Smith College. Bully for her. And may her well-deserved good fortune stop no one from sneaking a look at her work; who couldn’t use the feeling of being alive you’ll find there?
