"It is impossible to say too much about this book by Rosemary Catacalos. There are poems in her collection that will astound, and not merely because they manipulate myth and reality so artfully but because they are spoken with the strength of a person who has learned to lament and give thanks at once, to keep 'doing and undoing the whole cloth' even as her 'fingers bleed all over the loom.'" - Cedar Rock on first edition, "For precise balance in tone and form, and for surprising resonance throughout, Again for the First Time is a superb book of poems." -- Texas Monthly on first edition, "The painstaking craft involved here is a sort of poetic alchemy, transmuting the base elements of lifethought, sorrow, joyinto a living thing which reaches deep into our consciousness and embeds itself there."

Texas Monthly on first edition, " Again for the First Time weaves the classic mythology of Catacalos' Greek heritage into the daily resonances of her Mexican ancestry.... The book's second part unpacks the dangerous luggage of heartbreak, yet her mythological narrators erase any sentimentality. [...] The lyrics dance and sing, but often bleed."
