“Much like the places Ruth Lepson affectionately describes in her poems, her themes are timeless. Her words are heart-felt and artfully laid out. The poems are lively in their melancholy and accepting in the face of mortality. Passionately human, I Went Looking for You is a collection that feels at once familiar and astounding.” from The Harvard Crimson
