"Mediated is incisive, artful, athletic." — Rodrigo Toscano
"The documentary poem Fuck the Polis is a pivotal work." — Jeff Derksen
"Her way of weaving delicate balances of a personal place in the web of national to international is beautiful, but especially helpful, in that we suddenly appear in this world with her as complicit, as hopeful, as certain of Love. Carol Mirakove's "MEDIATED" is a pointer in these ways, and guides the hand over the globe to better investigate the likes of revolutions in Venezuela and Bolivia, and she states, they won we could be / winning." — CA Conrad
CA Conrad's Sexiest Poem Award for 2005 was given to the title poem, "Mediated"
"Carol Mirakove's poetry does its work not only through rage and persistence but also through tenderness. There is a love for the possibility that lies within language, a belief that rescrambling the channels can alter the extent to which we accept the administered language of the state and the media, sometimes even poetry, that suckers us into going with the flow, punching in, punching out." — Heather Fuller
Winner of The Frances Jaffer Book Award
"Muriel’s House is simply magnificent. I experienced it like a life flashing before my eyes—except this light sticks. It singes and sings. And oh how delightfully Mirakovian this world is! Outfitted in platform boots and purple cloaks; taking comfort in mantras, misdirection, and math; assuring us that all our heroes are alive & in love. There is no time to despair. Read this book now." — Susan Landers
