"It is rare to open a book, to begin the first sentence, and then want more than anything to burst into the Handel aria that has the line, 'Take me, O take me to your Care.' That is how Marianne Boruch's books, the poetry and the essays, always make me feel: how grateful I am to be in her company, in her care! In the Blue Pharmacy affords such deep pleasure because, for starters, there is in it the radiance of Boruch's intelligence, the breadth and depth of her knowledge, the quiet grace of her voice, her understanding of our griefs and joys, and her ability to illuminate a life, a line, a word. Also, she is funny. . . . The reader is in the presence of a master."-- Jane Hamilton "Like the best poems, Marianne Boruch's marvelous essays are their unique, intrinsically cherishable selves, as well as potent thunderclaps recalling all of literature's wild, invisible energies."-- David Kirby
