- Web site: Library Journal . Library Journal . 2020-05-22. Read this new collection by Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner, Zarin, and J.M.W. Turner comes to mind. (Or maybe George Inness.) In particular it recalls Turner's late stage work, when issues of craft have been long resolved, and what we see is pure feeling, sublime and urgent...we are thrust into the eye of the storm by a strong hand. Zarin's fifth collection (After "The Ada Poems") is essential reading for those seeking magic on the page..
