"The typical location in A Fish to Feed All Hunger, "wrote Alicia Ostriker in Poetry, is a cabin in a rough landscape which is sometimes ranch, sometimes mountainside, sometimes New England woods, but consistently feels like wilderness…Alcosser writes like an Annie Dillard without the drift toward transcendence, a Gary Snyder without Zen or ecological theory. Pragmatic, autonomous, she implies a kind of connection between woman and nature which is both old and new."—Alicia Ostriker, Poetry
"Sandra Alcosser's remarkable collection Except by Nature is filled with both an ecstatic wonder and a dark sense of wisdom concerning the unpredictable ways of both the natural world and the realm of human experience. She is an exciting and gracious storyteller whose contemporary fables are filled with the hard desires and wild disappointments of her speakers. Always, there is a lyric urgency and rhythmic power that reminds us that the spirited music of the human voice is often the most intimate and compelling music of all." David St. John, Judge, Academy of American Poets
