“What a luminous and alluring book, artful in the best sense of never advertising its art, never straining for effect, ever surprising with its wit and imaginative resourcefulness, its unpretentious yet authoritative voice, its heartbreaking authenticity, its intelligence, its eye, its lust, its charm. These are poems written by a large sensibility, both contemporary and historically aware, disciplined and supple, unsentimental and affectionate, verbally playful and soulfully engaged.”
—Bruce Bond
