• Toliver's work has the generosity and intelligence of C.D. Wright's and Claudia Rankine's, both of whom were her teachers, and the exacting standards of form, meaning, and language of Dawn Lundy Martin's. • One of the delights of Spectra is how it is maximal in content, and minimal in production—these are razor sharp, almost clinically precise poems about a domestic sphere—there's nothing soft-focus about them.
