“Jack Marshall’s work was always supple and mystical. His range has steadily expanded to include narrative and philosophical explorations. Taken together, these works are the record of a unique voice reverberating with lyric wisdom.”
—Andrei Codrescu
“Jack Marshall brings heart to everything he writes, and the clear, quiet voice, a transparency of expression, like a flow of water or, better, like the fluid action of an amoeba engulfing and digesting the sharp edges of idea and image in each person.”
—Poetry Flash
“The power of Jack Marshall’s poetry is disconcerting because of its unadorned nakedness. Every word is used. There is no fat on the lean bones of his words.”
—Library Journal
“Marshall’s circuitous lines and meticulously selected words hit their target dead center while readers are still caught up in the atmosphere he so beautifully paints.”
—Publishers Weekly
