Margot Farrington’s Blue Canoe of Longing is reviewed by Robert Bensen in New Pages.
“We can go to Margot Farrington’s The Blue Canoe of Longing (as Seamus Heaney wrote of poetry at large) ‘to be forwarded within ourselves,’ to conceive ‘a new scope for our mind’s activity’—and that of the heart, as Farrington’s art draws desire out to longing, from the familiar to the exotic, lowly to lofty, in Catskill country poems and Brooklyn city poems.”
