As David Hedges, president emeritus of the Oregon Poetry Association, says: "Tiel Aisha Ansari's High-Voltage Lines is packed to the rafters with finely-crafted pantoums, villanelles, rondeaux, sestinas, ghazals, and more. Here is a wellspring of wordplay and wit, a feast of fresh images, a seamless blend of heart and mind, body and spirit. This book will inspire those who write and enjoy formal verse, and enlighten those who cling to the notion that iambic pentameter is pass , and rhyme the province of poetasters."
