âLeslie Ullman traces through her speaker one womanâs attempt to find herself and then to live that discovered self within an alien wilderness that ranges from the indifferent to the frankly dangerous. This volume edges toward the growing certainty to plain chance and lucky or unlucky coincidence. Perhaps in response to the uncertain nature of the external world in Dreams by No Oneâs Daughter, Ullmanâs are very much poems of metamorphosis, of becoming rather than static being.â âStephen C. Behrendt
