Landscape with Silos, with its dual reference to North Dakota 
farmlands and the unseen missile silos beneath them, is an 
exercise in how submerged truth can be revealed when a poet's 
talent for imagination and a slanted attention are brought to bear 
on what's ordinarily represented as the whole story.

"Deb Bogen writes poetry that is naked and necessary, unadorned 
and political, intelligent and generous. The book brims with 
intelligence. And reality."—Carol Frost

"Deborah Bogen's poems have a kind of unpretentious authority, 
sometimes ruefully realistic, sometimes quietly mysterious; the 
whole of Landscape with Silos goes to make something stronger 
and greater than its parts."—Jean Valentine 

"Here are poems of a lively intelligence, agile, wounded, and wise. 
Landscape with Silos is a well-crafted, beautifully imagined, and 
transforming work. It is free verse that conjures form, and the 
poet reveals a range of mind and emotion that holds the reader 
entranced. This is, quite simply, a marvelous book."—Betty 
Adcock, Series Judge
