Her poems shine with intelligence.  Brooding and meditative, Fogel is a poet alert to every nuance of the inner life, a true phenomenologist of the soul in that New England tradition to which both Emily Dickinson and Jane Kenyon belong.  She is one of the best poets we have.” Alan Michael Parker, Chelsea Magazine:  “Fogel demonstrates a fine sense of stanza--an understanding of poetic closure and dramatic timing far beyond that of most free-verse poets. . . . ‘Ravishing perception’ seems to pervade Fogel’s work, and to do so both elegantly and powerfully. . . . One can see the dance of intellect from word to word [as she] dramatize[s] the complexities of consciousness.”    Laurel Blossom, Small Press Review:  “Fogel is a talented writer . . . capable of interesting risks.” Marion Stocking, Beloit Poetry Journal:  “I like the surprises in the language . . . to keep turning in the mind.  The whole book  (I Love This Dark World) is a joy.”
