O knihe

"These small pleasures of intelligent thoughtful, and thought-provoking poems will warm the reader's heart."
-Sandra Costich
"An old song tells us that "Little things mean a lot," and rarely has this been as true as it is in Small Pleasures, Nikia Leopold's bittersweet engagements with a glorious and mortal world. The title poem describes "Pleasures with the heft of tinsel, / so small they're irreducible." Also irreducible are these sharply observed, precisely crafted poems that contain, and provoke, depths of feeling."
-Michael Palma
"If you want to be moved, read these poems."
-Julia Wendell
"Niki Leopold is an exquisite receiver-of sensory news, complex emotions, hints of meaning. Her poems are passionate, delicate, fierce, brave."
-Mary Azrael
"The sparse, finely made poems in Niki Leopold's Small Pleasures possess the intricacy of snowflakes, each crystalline portrait revealing the wonder of existence encountered in an ordinary moment."
-Pauline Uchmanowicz
