“Ms. Peacock uses rhyme and meter as a way to cut reality into sizable chunks, the sense of the poem spilling from line to line, breathlessly.”
The New York Times Book Review

“Peacock’s poems are filled with little formal miracles, the sort of verbal dazzlement we grew up on but have starved for through the barren days of the plain style.”
Georgia Review

“She has a luxuriantly sensual imagination – and an equally sensual feel for the language. In mood her poems range from high-spirited whimsy to bemused reflection. Whatever the subject, rich music follows the tap of Molly Peacock’s baton.”
David Lehman, The Washington Post
