“Cathy Bowman is informed by a deft, rhythmic sense of music and an irreverence that always makes her poetry an interesting journey and experience. Her poems are full of surprises, subtle political observations, and a mature sense of voice that is uniquely her own.” --Quincy Troupe
“Catherine Bowman's lines derive their authority not from the pitch of her own voice but from the vigor of the American vernacular, which is to say that hers is poetry devoid of self-pity, big on keen-sightedness and sharp-edged enough to cut its way through the present into the future.” --Joseph Brodsky
