		Anne Michael's multi-award winning first novel, "Fugitive Pieces" is a beautifully lyrical and poetic account of the memory of loss sustained during the Holocaust years.

	Amazon.com: Reviews for Poems: Books: Anne Michaels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Anne Michael's poetry strikes me at the heart to be very sensuous.
		It is seductive to read Anne Michaels' collected poems as a companion piece to her breath-taking debut novel 'Fugitive Pieces', a fictionialised first-hand account of a young poet who learns how to articulate the horror of his family's past and find redemption though language and the love of a woman.
		The underlying theme of many of the poems, as in 'Fugitive Pieces', is the struggle to accept the absurdity of the human condition: the manner in which we are nourished by love, and crave it, yet are inevitably crippled by it when a loved one dies.

	Amazon.de: Poems: English Books: Anne Michaels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Michaels, whose first novel (Fugitive Pieces, 1997) was published to considerable literary acclaim, couples profound intellect with deeply felt emotion in a volume that includes two award-winning collections of poems previously published only in Canada (The Weight of Oranges, 1986; and Miners Pond, 1991), along with new work, Skin Divers.
		What distinguishes the author and raises her above many of her peers is the way her personal life informs but never overwhelms her poems, while her intellectual ardor for language and formal thought only occasionally distances her (and the reader) from feeling.
		Michaels is wrestling with the way that love survives despite separation, even death.

		Michaels nevertheless infuses this novel with such lyrical, poetic allusion, such passion, and such a keen eye for spiritual anomie that the book is, in the end, well worth reading and savoring.
		Anne Michaels is a poet herself, and at the beginning her style can seem overwrought for its subject.
		Anne Michaels tends to use her poetic descriptions and talent to weave a story.

	Robert Fulford's column about Anne Michaels in Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In a wine bar tucked into a medieval Siena building, Anne Michaels was eating lunch while an employee of her Italian publisher translated the first newspaper review of In Fugo, the Italian edition of Fugitive Pieces.
		Anne Michaels took part, along with four other speakers, in a celebration of her book at the Siena-Toronto Centre.
		She didn't cry, but we could hear a sob buried in the second "wasted." Her audience could feel the regretful longing of the narrator, his desperate wish to be more worthy, his poignant desire to be a person who would never again commit the sin of wasting love.

	BookLoons Reviews - Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels
		I was not surprised to see that Michaels' other publications were works of poetry as her style is lyrical, with a vivid use of imagery...
		Michaels sketches accounts of atrocities against this backdrop of time and history, creating a distance that makes it possible, though never easy, to read about them.
		Michaels has given us a remarkable piece of work about survivors of a shattering horror when 'Time was cut by a knife.' Her story swells up from the pages to capture the reader like an incoming tide.

	Anne Michaels' Fugitive Pieces
		So effectively does Anne Michaels assimilate wood(s) and forests to Jakob’s evolving consciousness, that after reading Fugitive Pieces it is at least temporarily difficult, if not impossible, to see or imagine a "birch forest" without thinking of the novel, the journey of its protagonist, and the historical horrors in which they have their roots.
		If anything, Petra’s effect on the reader is even more complex than her effect on Ben, for central to Michaels’ sketchy depiction of her is one attribute— "her fl hair" (275)—that raises huge questions about the structure of the novel, the nature of memory, and the presence—or absence—of order in human life.
		Clearly, Michaels’ depiction of Jakob’s relationship with Bella is shaped by Des Pres’s argument with Lifton, as probably are other aspects of "Cleopatra’s Art" and Fugitive Pieces by his discussion of "conscience" in relation to history: "[h]orrible events take place, that is the (objective) beginning.

		Michaels says that the pertinent issue here is solidity, "and the metaphysical status of hard bottoms seems a good deal less problematic" (Michaels 409).
		Michaels says this puts the earlier story in a different light because the tone is different and because the theme of the two stories remains the same--"the explorer in search of the solid foundations" (Michaels 409).

	Poems by Anne Michaels - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Michaels landed squarely on the literary map with her highly-acclaimed first novel Fugitive Pieces, and it is undoubtedly her success as a novelist that has afforded this troika of companion books, previously published separately by smaller Canadian presses, the unusual opportunity of appearing together in one volume their first time stateside.
		When read together as the author intended, these poems reveal, much like the work of her compatriot and supporter, Michael Ondaatje, an apprenticeship in the attentions of poetry that serves to both illuminate and extend her more well-known prose.
		Both furtive and essayistic, Michaels deftly re-creates the historic moment of an idea as if it were her own.

	Charlie's Portal: interview with Anne Michaels
		Anne Michaels made a huge emotional gamble in undertaking this project: it was a matter of faith.
		He says, 'Who can tell with absolute certainty the difference between the sounds of those who are in despair and those who want desperately to believe.' And he sees that precise moment of struggle as proof that there's a faith in matter, in physical matter—almost a blunt, pragmatic faith…that body itself wants to carry on.
		Despite her faith in the human ability to survive, Michaels is not blind to the human ability to be cruel to each other.

		There is the sense that Michaels spent time with every paragraph in order to render it beautiful and true to her sense of self.
