Living In Skin (Forest Song Press, May 2009) has received praise from general readers and award-winning poets. Gray Jacobik, winner of the Juniper Prize, the X. J. Kennedy Poetry Prize, and the AWP Poetry Series wrote:
"As I was reading the poems in Jude Rittenhouse's Living in Skin, I found myself repeating, again and again, the first two lines from one of Dickinson's: "I am Afraid to Own a Body/I am afraid to own a Soul". Like Dickinson, Rittenhouse lives on the edge of experience: both extremes, the ecstatic and the horrific, thus her poems are capacious and tenderly human. They are informed by what Genpo Roshi calls Big Mind. This means: varied subjects and tones, coherent, informing vision, organic structure, authentic speech. It's the juice I read for."
