"They're strong, passionate poems... The love poems are plangent, beautiful and somehow painful... these poems [are] alive and pulsing with human feeling unmediated by anything outside the experience they convey..." - Rhina Espaillat "...a personal style of writing that is instantly recognizable as uniquely hers... [the collection] is at base ambiguous . . . but simultaneously clear and concrete... there isn't a poor poem, or even a mediocre one..." - Lewis Turco In it [String Theory] there is singing, there is dancing to freedom, dancing to the bondage of the self. - Emmanuel Sigauke Munyori Reviews The poems in Alice Teeter's String Theory are both playful and daring, integrating the concrete, natural world with the emotional forces of our everyday existence. - Mindy Kronenberg, Book/Mark Quartertly Review
