“There’s a quiet subtlety to Amanda Jernigan’s poetry. It breathes in deep and exhales with a gentle sigh … Jernigan is deeply rooted in nature; her place in the poetical landscape is among the pines and roots of civilization.”
“I fell hard for this book … just the impact of that final line alone [from the poem ‘Prescribed Burn’] gives you a sense of how much Jernigan is able to suggest with language — visually, metrically, aurally, etymologically, and metaphorically … supremely intelligent, and full of love that doesn’t breach decorum.”
– Ange Mlinko, author of Marvelous Things Overheard

“Perhaps this book could be read as a “choose your own adventure,” instead of reading it from start to finish. It would give the reader a better perspective of the variety Jernigan is capable of … All the Daylight Hours is nothing short of a quest for the reader, with a satisfying return, leaving us different than before.”
