Joan Logghe is one of the most exciting poets in America today. Her words sing, slide, slip, & jive. I love everything by Joan.

- Natalie Goldberg, author, Writing Down the Bones

 

Blessed Resistance and Sofia…show her as a prodigiously gifted poet. I think Logghe is a New Mexico treasure, maybe without an honorific title.

- David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal

 

Sofia dances off these pages, with earth songs, tears and prayers, a bride to life's blessings and sorrows come to reawaken your heart. I love this book.

- Jack Kornfield, author, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

 

Her galloping domestic ecstasies teach everyone who knows her the pure crazy linkages of love.

- Judyth Hill, author, Men Need Space

 

Sofia is such a lovely and wonderful, heartbreaking and heat-uplifting little book. What an exquisite poem to this place!!!!!

- John Nichols, author, Milagro Bean Field War

 

In the tradition of Neruda, Joan weaves the everday stuff of life into shimmering garments of beauty. They are not one-size-fits-all, and that is the measure of their wisdom, and yes, their longevity.

- Jim Sagel, Introduction What Makes a Woman Beautiful

 

Joan Logghe is the true muse of New Mexico's Española Valley, as intimately tied to place as Emily Dickinson to New England or Sappho to her island. Logghe merges domesticity and the everyday with the divine.

- Miriam Sagan, New Mexico Magazine

 

She is easily one of the major lyric voices in the American Southwest…a majordomo of the Anglo acequia on New Mexico's Rio Poesi'a.
