Kind Words

❧ Tiffany Troy brought energy, thoughtfulness and imagination to the interview process. Well-prepared and efficient (though I never felt rushed), she made our conversation a mutual exploration of ideas we cared about.

❧ As an avid reader of reviews and literary essays, I can say with confidence that is rare to see such an artful balance of critical rigor and generosity of spirit. Ms. Troy’s literary criticism is marked by a remarkable clarity with respect to the relationship between craft and affect, poetic technique and larger claims about culture and philosophy, and of course, literary citizenship and social justice.
