“Phillis Levin’s work is tragic, audaciously playful, and redeeming. She is a marvelous architect and an amazingly moving poet.”
- Tomaž Šalamun

“Like the element of its title, Phillis Levin’s poetry is at once weighty, elusive, versatile, and unique. Levin commands many modes but a single and beautifully authoritative and intelligent voice. She is one of the best poets writing in this country.”
- Rachel Hadas

“Shaped by a metaphysical sensibility that is at once fiercely cerebral and deeply passionate, and that responds to both rigorous logic and spiritual mystery, the poems in Mercury mediate repeatedly between heart and mind, faith and science, the domain of ideas (and words) and the physical world, setting us down inside a restless, relentless mind that, torn between these poles, strives continually against imbalance and fragmentation and for equipoise, harmony, wholeness.”
- Bruce Bawer, The Hudson Review
