	Herizons
		Di Brandt: Yes, I wanted the collection to reflect the collaborative nature of my poetry efforts in recent years, both overtly, working together with other artists, and more allusively, through inter-textual references, which are often not chosen, but rather “received,” in the poems, as voices shining through from other texts.
		Di Brandt: “Old rag and bone shop” of course paraphrases Yeats’ vision of aging in “The Circus Animals Desertion.” Yeats seemed dismayed by the loss of physical vitality in his old age and fashioned a poetics of aging where that vitality gets replaced by the wisdom and art.
		Di Brandt: Usually I begin by scribbling something on whatever scrap of paper is at hand when the first wisp of a poetic thought comes to me. But then I do most of the writing after that on my dear little laptop computer.

	Feminist Poet-Critics on Sex, Love, and Motherhood
		Brandt’s tracing of this narrative across several Canadian cultural divides is nothing less than heroic, for in this era of the politics of difference, any search for gender commonalities across racial and ethnic lines is a risky business because it must confront a pernicious gender scepticism that has haunted feminist discourse for roughly a decade.
		Brandt argues that "the mother has been so largely absent in Western narrative, not because she is unnarratable, but because her subjectivity has been violently, and repeatedly, suppressed" (7).
		Besides connecting Brandt to her own Mennonite female heritage, these stories "occupy a revolutionary narrative space in Canadian literature" in that they "break open the absence at the heart of the Western narrative tradition, to reveal a powerful body of women’s experiences, rendered passionately and articulately in language" (137).

	Eye Weekly - BOOKS: Di Brandt -- Mother, Not Mother - 02.11.93
		This beautifully crafted collection of poems by Manitoban creative writing professor Di Brandt explores the classic relationship between mother and child, deftly probing the curious balance of being first a daughter and then a mother.
		Brandt writes of the eroticism of the feeling of being pregnant, and of her two daughters, the latter subject leading her to muse on relationships between women and men in a world of violence against women.
		Brandt deals with every child's lifelong need to find "the mother," and the anger that some feel at the enduring betrayal of her absence.

	PoetryReviews.ca » Speaking of Power: The Poetry of Di Brandt edited by Tanis MacDonald
		Brandtâs interest in shamanic models of transformation that value the earth and seek to maintain its natural gifts offers a vision of ecstatic renewal in the midst of technological despair.
		Brandt consistently challenges the assumption that the world is aligned along an immutable set of binaries, and suggests instead, that even though the material and cultural conditions of life may appear to be deeply contradictory, they do constitute a lived reality that must be acknowledged.
		In her afterword, Brandt references the Colombian city of Medellin as a site âwhere poetry is profoundly understood and cherished by people of all ages, in the mainstream arena, from young to oldâ (50).

	Brandon University's Canada Research Chairs - Dr. Di Brandt
		This is why Di Brandt is using her Canada Research Chair in Literature and Creative Writing to develop a theoretical and practical model for contemporary ecopoetry and poetics.
		Post-postmodern ecopoetry and poetics, as Brandt sees it, involve the exploration of "reparative thinking" as a corrective to the typically bipolar thinking of the 20th century, which separated rationalist materialism from subjective modes of thinking and feeling.
		Brandt's work is post-postmodern ecopoetry and poetics represent a powerful attempt to bring the visionary, transformative, imaginative energy of poetry into mainstream thinking and it has the potential to play a major role in helping the rest of us imagine a viable future in an age of eco-crisis.

	Wilfrid Laurier University Press, Excerpt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Politics, in Brandt's poetry, may be defined as a series of decisions about who has the privilege of speech and who does not ultimately, who lives and who dies.
		Brandt's concept of her double identity, as poet and critic, as Mennonite and feminist, as mother and daughter, performs its own interconnections, and grants her access to a grand vision of beauty and regenerative hope.
		Brandt's work is best read as a lyrical arc rather than individual poems, for each of her concerns resonates with an adjoining issue: feminism with religion; belief with language; power with gender.

	Prairie Fire Magazine: Review of Books
		Brandt: When I was writing questions i asked my mother, I was a member of a feminist writing group called "hiatus," and trying to be an avant garde, experimental writer.
		Brandt: That, and they started realizing that I would have an alternative audience who might have a different idea about what my writing meant, and that my adolescent rebel tendencies might get encouraged somewhere, that my completely unofficial, forbidden views on everything might be believed by other people.
		Brandt: Well, I put a disclaimer in questions i asked my mother, at the beginning, which said some of this is autobiographical and some of it is not.

		Though her political engagement is clear, Brandt's writing is not propaganda.
		Her skill as a poet and the sharp turns of her mind make this book enjoyable, even funny at times, despite the grim subject matter.
		"Brandt’s collection is a rich and passionate call to its readers to consider the natural world in which we find ourselves and how dissonant our daily actions are with the caring that we instinctively feel for it."

	Quill & Quire
		Brandt felt uneasy about Ontarioâs willingness to swap its most fertile country for cash and convenience, with little concern for the slaughter of wildlife or the steady destruction caused by humans.
		I meet with Brandt on a cool drizzly day in early May. We are sitting in her living room in a spacious old house on a leafy, residential Windsor street.
		The food is as artistically presented as the walls of Brandtâs home, with their framed sketches of elegant dresses (her older daughter is a fashion designer) and, over the piano, a verdant mountain landscape painted by her younger daughter, an architect.
