 They Can't Take That Away from Me University of Chicago Press / 2001 “Colloquial as well as eloquent, pitch-perfect no matter how delicate her material, Gail Mazur has found a way to write that is completely responsive to her remarkable qualities of mind..." -National Book Award Judges’ Citation |

 The Common University of Chicago Press / 1995 "In her new book of poems, Gail Mazur continues to tell the passionate truth about herself and life in beautifully made poems. They are the work of a mature, deeply engaged, and productive artist." —Alan Dugan |

 The Pose of Happiness David R. Godine / 1986 "With her fluid yet colloquial line, and her gift for precise observation, Mazur depicts the mind in all its reflective, reflexive operations. Her poems show how it feels to think, affirming one's own 'bewildering part in this world.'" —Frank Bidart |

 "Mazur's closeness to experience, her honest assessments and her keen sense of detail inform many of Nightfire's best poems." -Margaret Holmes, The Nation.
