RaveColorado Review\"Karen Babine’s essay collection All the Wild Hungers will make you hungry, startle you with beauty and break your heart ... Particularly endearing are the stories of aunthood Babine weaves into these pages as she creates new traditions with her niece and nephew ... On a craft level, the work is skillful and gorgeous in its simplicity. Babine’s pieces often have the feel of prose poetry, giving us lines we can almost feel and touch ... To read Babine’s essays is to walk a while with a family, get to know their roots, and come out nourished in every sense of the word.\

PositiveJewish Book Council\"The poems feel straightforward in a way that adds to their urgency ... Ultimately, what carries this collection home are not its formal elements, but a real, honest, scared voice pervading the work, asking questions like: How are we so vulnerable? How do we care for each other? How can we stay safe? Meitner gives voice to the fears of the moment in this portrait of a very unsettled American time.\
