Lynn Emanuel, author of The Nerve of It: New and Selected Poems, described “Carol Frost’s complex and sumptuous [..] Alias City (Madhat, Inc.) as “structured as a kind of pas de deux between the poet and her mother, Renée Fellner.  A reader enters the book in the midst of a tumult of voices, identities, and histories.  Fellner, an Austrian émigrée, seems to be, at once, the voice of these poems and the subject of Frost’s elegies. Together, these two women’s lives, written side by side, sustain and shape this intricate and eloquent volume.  Frost has been one of her generation’s pioneer lyric poets.  She further enlarges the lyric here: Alias City is a far-reaching exploration of history, suffering, and, above all, of art with its betrayals and salvations.”
