"WARNING: this collection will move you, wound you. Sari Krosinsky’s lines mesmerize with a lyricism of insight and language, with all the pull and character development of a full, lush novel. Thus one cannot not read on (even when it pains), enriched page by page by the understanding — ‘to share suffering — that, too, is love.’ From a locked ward, to a G-dless boardwalk arcade, to the interstices of intimacy, Krosinsky’s ink bleeds and it’s beautiful. Meditating in the Dark is a book that bears witness and the tremendous weight of caring, a book that bares its teeth. Read at your own risk of discovery and feeling." ~Erika Brumett "It is a difficult thing to write deeply personal poetry, and do it without being overly dramatic. To do such a thing exacts a price from the author. Sari Krosinsky speaks, at times, about matters of great pain, and does so almost matter-of-factly. I can only imagine how this honesty affects Sari. For me as a reader, it is occasionally knee-buckling." ~Steve Sibra
