- J.D. McClatchy, The Hudson Review Amid the incoherence of things, between the coarse lines of dissolution, after our last photogenic war, the "fever-vivid" language of Wendy Battin's Little Apocalypse threads between lucidity and lyricism, surface and depth to the very fovea of the song. An exquisite collection. - C.D. Wright Wendy Battin's poems are the waking dreams of a physicist: elegant, pure, accurate as light. But hers is a human physics, in which the emotional dimension is as present as the intellectual. The language of Little Apocalypse is meditative and playful, while never abandoning the rigor of reason. Wendy Battin is a brilliant poet. - Pamela Alexander
