Breaking the Glass is a book of fierce heart and strong hands, glinting recognitions, and hard-won perception. Its many brief, bright shard-poems, especially, cut through surface consciousness, bringing the reader to unexpected and moving comprehension. Vulnerable with longing, fully alive, LouAnn Muhm’s words ring resonantly true.
~Jane Hirshfield

LouAnn Muhm writes finely honed poems that are spare but never slight, and taut with the truth. Images and metaphors are planted with economy and precision, nurtured, and given the space and time to breathe and develop. Every word is made to pull its weight. There’s deadpan humour and pure joy, too, in a collection filigreed with an involving emotional arc, told in a distinctive voice that’s understated but always gently insistent and humane.
~Matthew Merritt

LouAnn Muhm’s graceful lyrics often end with a sudden twist of insight that hits the reader like a gust of wind…or a gentle breeze. I am particularly taken by her epigrammatic gems and poems that are Zen-like in their mysterious reflections. This poet glimpses the spiritual from the corner of her eye and shares the vision with us.
~Lynn Levin
