“From the land of small towns, undertakers, ‘burnt-out stars’ and ‘chrome-dented light,’ Elbe makes a generous poetry that is both elegy and ode to the treasured and forgotten.”
– Dorianne Laux

“To read Elbe’s poems is to discover not only what it means to be in love, but what it means to be alive.”
– Jesse Lee Kercheval
