Praise for Jean Hollander's Work
On Dante’s The Inferno
“The new version of Dante’s Inferno, by an internationally famous Dante scholar and his wife, the poet Jean Hollander, is accompanied by a detailed, brilliant commentary that is itself worth the price of the volume. For the student of Dante this book is not only an indispensable guide, it is also an intellectual feast.”—Bernard Knox, New York Review of Books
On Crushed Into Honey
“I’m truly impressed by the admirable range and diversity of this collection, highly original and commanding…a beautifully sustained and melodic vision.”—Laurence Lieberman, University of Illinois Press
“Here is poetry with sweetness and bite, poetry that rewards rereading.”—George Core, The Sewanee Review
Jean Hollander’s first book of poems, Crushed into Honey, won the Eileen W. Barnes Award. Her second collection was a winner in the QRL Poetry Book Series. Her verse translations of Dante’s Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise were published by Doubleday.
