“Love orange light warm introduces us to a prescient landscape of modern heartache rooted in antiquity. Jaclyn Alexander unfolds a thoughtful tapestry of narratives that are fleetingly encountered; tension rises to the surface, as in I-phone notes, 12:11 PM, after which a figure recedes "back into rooms of warm orange light." Alexander invokes the voices of Lyn Hejinian and H.D., and in doing so expands upon their characteristic lucidity. There is the defining and revision of definitions of love, via an inquisitive consciousness capable of painting an entire morning full of greenery. The intermittent preparation and consumption of food stands alongside a greater nourishment that the reader finds herself longing for, before a final kettle song pulls Alexander's dreamscape back to the beginning; love as speculative language.”

“Love orange light warm manages to weave together early wounds of gender and childhood, with the unfolding trauma of womanhood, through language that is fresh and dizzying. Jaclyn Alexander pursues big questions and tiny details. Her voice is honest, so we finish the book feeling rawer than when we started - a little bit undone.”
— Ariel Yelen (poet, visual artist, Associate Editor for Futurepoem)
