About
Equi's poems are under the breath asides from your cleverest friend-witty, thoughtful, and wry. SLIGHT: A slight implies, if not an insult(real or imagined), at least something unpleasant --a slight cold, a slight headache. No one ever says :"You make me slightly happy." Although this, in fact, is often the case. Widely published and anthologized, Elaine Equi's work has appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The American Poetry Review, Nation, and numerous volumes of The Best American Poetry.

Reviews
"Witty and zen-like . . . Each poem in this collection does the same thing. They build in insight and delight. Sentences and Rain is truly a masterwork that deserves to be read and disseminated through the population and through time."
NewPages
"Equi relishes the stark, overlooked beauty of the quotidian in her curious, winding, fanciful 13th collection."
Publishers Weekly
"[Equi is] genuinely funny--like all genuine humorists, she has depth, she picks targets, she's patient, she takes aim . . . Equi gives us several drawing boards' worth of characters, or friendly caricatures, framed in a wry, almost lighthearted nostalgia."
