In poem after poem ... Hansen seeks out solitary discoveries. Her literary
ancestors, Walt Whitman, Theodore Roethke, and
Mary Oliver have taught her that the ways of nature can be read
and interpreted as lessons for the inner self, what Whitman dared to call
the "soul" in his famous visionary poems "Song of Myself" and "A Noiseless
Patient Spider." — Steven Schneider, Nebraska Territory

Twyla Hansen has written about true things — a book full of honest speech by a poet
who loves the small beauties of everyday life, one you'll share with people you care
about for years to come. — Jonis Agee
Potato Soup is rich with climate, place, color, detail and life, capturing within
the covers of a single engaging and lovely collection so much of our part of the planet.
— Ted Kooser
Twyla Hansen connects the human and the natural worlds in surprising — and often
stunning — ways. A poet of the prairie, she is equally a poet of the human spirit.
— William Kloefkorn

Hansen has a good ear for the music of landscape and language. Prairie Suite is a
work that strives to make the elements of the natural world of the tallgrass prairie a
part of our personal and cultural imaginations [,…] a celebration of the things we too
often overlook and the things that still persist in spite of all we’ve done to them.
— Tom Lynch, Assistant Professor of English, University of Nebraska — Lincoln
