description: "Vollmer is a city poet -- and her city is Pittsburgh, blue collar, homely, well loved -- who nonetheless lies under bushes and looks to see the colors of flowers in the dark. She is a poet of righteous rages and bad moods, hilarity and tender griefs. She can be rough or elegant. . . . She has done for the city of Pittsburgh what William Carlos Williams sought to do for Paterson, what O'Hara did for New York, and Baudelaire for Paris." --Liz Rosenberg
