“The poems in this volume are as meat and wine to literary tastes.”—Albany Times-Union.
“Not only do we have the woman spirit here, but a poetical spirit of no mean sort.”—Zion’s Herald.
“It is clear, true poetry, without aping, effusiveness, or striving for effect; the refraction of momentous personal experience through a richly-dowered soul. It is also precious as an exquisite voicing of pure womanliness in its highest phase. It is worthy not only to be enjoyed, but to be studied as a clue to the soul of the coming woman.”—Edward A. Ross, Author of “Sin and Society,” “The Changing Chinese,” etc., etc.
“No clearer voice than that of Marguerite Wilkinson sings today of the coming woman and of the democracy we are working for. ‘In Vivid Gardens,’ a glimpse into the souls of women, was her first book of poems.”—Life and Labor.
