“Wintering is an elegant attempt to restore humanity to a moment in history stripped of it by racism and colonialism. It’s unlike any book of poems or historical document I’ve read: formally eclectic, incorporating erasure pieces in addition to haibun, and concluding with what is essentially a brief academic paper, entitled “No General Use Can Ever Be Made of the Wrecks of My Loss.” The poems in Wintering could be enjoyed out of context for their beauty and they do have individual through-lines—moments with her children, crystalline observations of the natural world. The prose provides the reader an invaluable contextual handrail.” — Sarah Galvin, CityArts
“Snyder-Camp makes a daring entrance into history [and] what lingers most for the reader is the remarkable poetic experience of being in the past and present at once, ‘never just one path taken,’ but ‘five paths… taken at once, fingering out their hopeless green.’” — Martha Collins
“Snyder-Camp weaves genres and concepts in an intriguing and open-ended examination of national and personal American mythology. In her lyrical analysis of the Lewis and Clark expedition, she maintains a perceptive lens — ‘without its story, the images are gorgeous’ — and proceeds to make space for both the lush beauties and the stark atrocities of history.”
